• MsiExec.exe is running

  Hello

  The message "msiexec.exe is running" when you use the installation program

  There is no running msiexec.exe in the Task Manager.

  The fix of regedit, that we managed to solve this problem with before does not work.

  Reset does not work...

  The research has the following suggestion

  • go to start/run, type services.msc

    Search for services and see if you have windows install the auto value. If this is the case, set it to manual.

  Are there risks associated with this?

  Hello!

  No, no risk.  It must always be set to manual.

  Hi Pops1148,

  ·         Is the question not confined with updated Microsoft Office?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: You can follow the steps in the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base and check if it works.

   

  Troubleshooting Windows Update or Microsoft Update when you are repeatedly offered an update

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910339

  Method 2: Try the SFC (System File Checker) scan on the computer.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  a. click Startand type cmd in the box start the search .

  b. right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click run as administrator.

  c. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  d. at the command prompt, the following line and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  File system (CFS) Checker

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/system_file_checker.mspx?mfr=true

  Method 3: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

• I have several mshta.exe running processes on my computer

  Mshta.exe is listed in the task manager at least 14 times. I close them and they come back. Anyone know what it is, or why its running so many times, and what I can do about it? thanx

  I had a similar on my wifes computer problem after an ifestation Trojan horse got into his system.

  I am running xp home with service pack 3.

  I put end to the largest part of the instance of mshta.exe in Task Manager so that the repressive would work quite well to fix.

  c:\windows\system32\mshta.exe

  c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\mshta.exe

  The in the folder system32 was 45 k and the one in the service pack files was 29 k I went in the Service Pack folder and copied mshta.exe.

  Then I put end to all instances of mshta.exe in the Task Manager.

  Then I went in the system32 folder and pasted the file by replacing the infected file. So far, everything is ok. If I have problems I have reload service pack 3.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  ===========================================

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.

• error 1603 - msiexec.exe shown as a Trojan horse

  AVG reported this as a Trojan.attempting to download the mouse disk Intellipoint 7.0 that arises as dangerous
  shown in c/windows/system32/msiexec.exe - download aborted.

  AVG can not put to the virus vault (something) perspective!

  Understanding this can be a disguised Trojan horse, how I the zap?

  Hello

  MsiExec.exe is the Windows Installer, but it could have been infected by malicious software.

  Doing a thorough and redundant check like no program can catch or remove all malware.

  You can also install the latest version of the installer, once you are sure that the machine is really clean.

  Hello Celired,

  You can also try the following to see if it helps.
  Step 1: empty user and system 'temp' folders.
   
  1. empty "%systemdrive%\temp"folder. "
   
  2. empty "%systemdrive%\%windir%\temp"folder. "
   
  3. empty "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp'.»»

  Step 2: Utility Windows Install Cleanup
  Click here to download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility. However, if you encounter a problem with Windows Installer, you may not be able to run this utility.

  Find the entry for the program, RTUadmin you try to install it and remove it.  You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

  Step 3: check if there waiting for installation/s in the registry.
   
   
  Warning: You should only edit these registry entries if you really know what you're doing. Back up your hard drive first.
  NOTE: Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

  Go to the Start button and in the search box, type Regedit.

  a. the empty registry key "InProgress".
   
  Highlight, then check the following registry key:

  HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

  and clean all the entries that you find.
   
  b. empty/rename "PendingFileRenameOperations" registry key:
   
  Highlight, then check the following registry key:

  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations

  and clean all the entries that you find.
   
  Then try again and see if you can download your software, RTUadmin.

  Please respond and take stock of your problem.

  Sincerely,
