  • Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit. How to re-install Windows Installer?

    Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit SP2. How can I re - install Windows Installer? None of the 27 sets of update and Installer Cleanup solutions worked, a last resort option could work but it will not install without the Windows Installer Service.

    I tried each FixIt option, says the problem is solved, but isn't.
    I tried install Windows Installer 4.5, but it came back as not relevant to my system (because there is no previous installer to update).
    Tried a number of recommended patches, but they are all geared toward fixing the problems of Windows Update not a lack of Windows Installer.
    MicrosoftFixit50202.msi seems to have corrected Windows Update on my laptop but it won't install on Vista pc because there is no Windows Installer.
    I ran the installation disc the option 'fix' with the original, it finished but has not replaced Installer and nothing was fixed.

    How can I put the installer of Windows on my computer?  If there are files on the original drive that can be put into drive C what are they?
    Someone suggested to uninstall Service Pack 2, and then reinstall, but if I have no installer of Windows that may not work. Others said they reformatted to correct same question, but it did not work.

    These previous solutions have not helped:
    Could not locate the installer of Windows on Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    Difficulty the installer of windows vista sp2
    code641/MSI
    Failed installation error msg error 80070641 Windows update

    After a month of butting heads with the refusal of Microsoft to actually help except to sell us all a new copy of Vista or Win7 at the normal price I solved the problem myself.

    1. I made a list of all my software purchased, including required registration keys, etc. and site URL for those who I don't have a disk for.
    2. Deleted registry back up on my external hard disk, reloading apparently one makes the backed up registry problems breed more.
    3. Inserted my drive from Dell to factory since 2007 and restarted. Press a key to boot from the CD. Chose "reformat hard drive' first, then when prompted hit"Reinstall"(slightly different wording on your computer).
    4. After you have reinstalled the factory disc 32-bit Vista, I spent hours 7 next installation of SP1, SP2 and hundreds of updates. Note that several times Windows Update said some updates to date has failed, but finally everything installed correctly by repeating the sequence of installation/reboot to update. There have been a few files that reported to turn off computer completely, I've shown... clicked with indicator shutdown (stop), let it do its thing until it turned off the computer and then the computer restarted manually later. After a total of 8 hours and 14 minutes as my Vista has been fully loaded, updated the installer is still intact, everything works very well and did not cost a penny.

    It has been 2 days since the reformatting/reinstall. I reinstalled all my additional software without problem. System Mechanic is back in service without any prejudice to my installation Service. Seems that something is involved with .NET Framework 4 triggered a defense mechanism that caused the installer should be deleted, solved the problem of the .NET Framework from Microsoft, but it can be installed by the installer being removed to protect our computers. The question was not just with Dell computers, it is Dell support is just as incompetent that Microsoft support batch so more Dell owners were here to complain.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FYI: my mobile Samsung with Win7, the correction was easier because my installation Service has not been removed:

    1. Uninstalled all the software using .net Framework 4 (only 2)
    2. Uninstalled all .net Framework 4 bodies found on my list of programs (Client Profile and Essentials)
    3. A ran my System Mechanic to remove debris aka too much clutter and correct registry problems
    4. Laptop rebooted then ran Windows Update. All the updates installed with 3 requiring the judgment to install. .NET framework reinstalled with updates.
    5. Reinstalled my 2 pieces of software that use .NET Framework.

    It has been 4 days without any problem at all. So, in my case, it's .NET Framework 4 that created and continued the problem, even if the specific audit FixIt kept saying all .NET Frameworks have been installed correctly.

  • XPS from Dell with Vista system

    I have a XPS from Dell with Vista system.  When the computer enters standby mode, it continues to run and does not respond when you click the mouse or press a key on the keyboard.  I have to turn off the computer and then it takes about 20 minutes before it will start up.  He must analyze the disc and then says windows is not stopped correctly.  So sometimes, I have a blue screen that says that windows has automatically stopped because of an error.

    My system is only about 3 weeks.  This just started happening.  I have not installed any new hardware.  Here is a meswsage error I get

  • HP Pavilion with Vista, SP2 m9510f keeps freezing upwards

    My HP Pavillion (with Vista, SP2) m9510f started to freeze until a few months previously, apparently at random times. I did all the cleaning of the computer and diagnosis operations I can think, nothing helps. Most of the common time it freezes is when I use Outlook (writing emails, etc), but also when I'm on YouTube. A check on my Windows application event log shows frequent instances of the CAPI2 (same ID 11) error, generally followed the WMI (event ID 10) anywhere between 20 and 50 seconds after the CAPI2 error. This pair of errors still happens when I start the computer, but sometimes also occur just before a freeze. I used the tool of Microsoft 'Fix - It' which should resolve the CAPI2 error, but it made no difference. I also have occasional "SidebySide" errors and mistakes 'Hello Service', as well as system errors 'Bowser '. I'm running out of ideas and hope someone can help me, that these system freeze seem to occur with increasing frequency. Thank you, John.

  • Access user (UAC) shield appears on a large number of my programs now after Windows Update download and cause problems with some programs, no one knows how to fix this? (Windows 7) (Windows Update post a coupe of weeks)

    Hello

    Windows Update recently made a lot of downloads on my computer about two weeks ago (I run it automatically and it works usually weekly) and he has made some changes to my system that create errors or difficulties with certain programs. The shield of the UAC is now appearing on many more programs for some reason any and now I'm a guest whenever a program is available. which is also appear on my AntiVirus program. Action Center flag appears almost every day now with warnings saying that my AntiVirus program and spyware is off (not sure if this is related to the UAC shield), but when I check my AntiVirus program everything works and after access; the flag of the Action Center shows while all right. Nobody knows how to solve this problem and get rid of the ecu of the UAC on programs (or at least some of them I want to be invited on)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    I'm sure I've upgraded to Vista SP2, but not absolute, I can't find a lot of information in the case of the newspapers with the service pack level... only vista combined with some process is perceptible. I bought July ' 09 new and it came pre-installed with Vista on it. I think this is the tool I used to remove McAfee on this; It also came with Norton as an alternative option and both have been removed using their tools to uninstall BitDefender installation instructions walked me through the location and the removal of two of them before installing BitDefender on the computer. My user account is configured as an administrator, but when I right click on programs with the shield of the UAC on them, I'm not running as an administrator. The UAC slider is set at the 2nd ranked (by default); but I do not know how it was listed previous, I wondered about moving down one notch (but he advises not and I don't want to spoil anything).

  • PC with Vista sp2 I can backup and reinstall on the new PC with Windows 7?

    I bought a new PC with Windows 7 and you want to back up my old PC running Windows Vista SP2. Can I do a total back up and reinstall without jeopardizing the Windows 7? Or y at - it a program that moves from programs for me, instead of a return to the top?

    Hello

    You don't give enough information:

    Read this about the legality of moving from an operating system:

    If the computer/laptop came with Windows Vista preinstalled operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    ______________________________________________

    Years although it was licensed for retail sales of a clone of Vista that you want to move in all probability if boot not that this image contains drivers for the old Vista, not the most recent motherboard on Windows 7 computer.

    And programs need to be reinstalled from the original media.

    See you soon.

  • During the installation of a program, receive the error message that Windows Installer is not installed properly on Vista

    I tried to install a program and I got an error message that says "Windows Installer" is not installed correctly and I need to contact the support staff.  I get also a message when I log that says steetings.ini is occupied by another program and it will not allow the sidebar to come.

    Try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to troubleshoot the problem with Windows Installer:http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml.

    For the issue of the Sidebar, do a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    I hope this helps.
