• Can't install Itunes, get an error that the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode"

  OP: Install problems Windows

  I tried to install iTunes, but he said that "the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Call support personnel. "They gave me similar messages by other programs I've tried to install as well.

  Because I was not running Windows in safe mode in time, I assumed that the installer was not installed correctly. So I tried to download from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

  But then I got error messages like "this update does not apply to your system" and "not enough memory is available to process this command." I tried all the links and none of them worked for me. I'm running a Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and I 2.38 GB of available RAM, so I don't think that the lack of memory is the problem here. What should I do?

  1.] I had a previous version of iTunes, but I got rid of it with Revo Uninstaller.

  I was looking around and I found this: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-installation-setup/96680-repair-windows-installer-service-vista-all-versions-2.html

  I followed the direction of the last message (by F'n Vista) and changed the value of WOW64 Registry and now iTunes has installed perfectly and works now. I'll try to install other programs that I got hurt with previously. Thank you very much for your help! :)

• Error 1719: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed

  Original title: Please help, almost nothing works: video, audio, internet, most of the programs.

  It is a long story and it arrived a bit at random so I have no idea where to start, but I'm going. While trying to install autodesk software, I received the message: Error 1719. Install the WIndows service could not be accessed. This can happen if windows install is not properly installed. Contact your support team. I didn't know what to do so I rebooted and that's where the trouble started. I'm unable to play any audio or video. I am unable to connect to the internet as there is no connection available, but I'd just been connecting to my wireless home network earlier. I am unable to do a system restore because I got the message: System Restore is not working properly on this system. A volume shadow copy Service component has encountered an unexpected error. See the log even application for more information. (0 x 80042302). I think that this problem may have to do with a corrupt registry or some proxy problems or something. I tried to reinstall drivers, but I'm unable to access my cd drive to launch the backup drive drivers provided by microsoft. Please help me, I dual boot ubuntu is how I can access the internet. It must be a software problem if I have my other OS works perfectly. NEEED HELP SO BADLY. THANKS in advance.

• Windows Installer service could not be found (Win7 Home Premium 64-bit)

  THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED (PLEASE READ):
  There was NOTHING on the internet that has helped me. While I thought, on the permissions, and I thought of my C:\ (main one with what you have).

  Here's what I did to fix (this applies to all versions on Windows):

  (1) right click on C:\ (or E:\ whatever one holds your stuff)

  2) go to properties

  (3) under Security, click SYSTEM

  (4) ensure that the SYSTEM has all the permissions on ALL

  NOTE: When you do that on that day will be "cannot give permission to C:\boot (for example)" that's fine, just click continue until it's over

  And I'll put the first response as response so that when people search he said answered

  I tried to reinstall iTunes on my computer and when I went to uninstall, I got this message. The only thing I've changed recently is that I put all the Microsoft partners in C:\Program Files (x 86) folders in a folder, but when I received the message I moved all return. I don't think that this is irrelevant, but that's really all I've done. Can anyone help? I tried to put in some. REG files in regedit, but that did nothing.

  My son, a few days earlier, on a new computer, he just bought and built himself decided that he would organize its files and folders as you did.

  He did it without getting any word of wisdom from me and came to tell me that he was receiving registry errors and some of its programmes would not be executed.

  After saying that it was a no-no to move all the system/application/program files installed by the files except for the files and folders, he created, he tried to put into the place where he thought it was. He did not, the damage to windows has been done.

  After I saw that it did not work, I did a restore to a point before it settles anything and recovered all of its programs with the exception, that comes to an end by removing and then reinstalling. We ran a sfc/scannow on the computer and she came back with a report found no problem.

  I also ran a scan on the registry and found a few errors in the program that would not fix from the restoration, which I took care with regedit. Regedit you can get in serious trouble if you're not careful and you know what you're doing.

  Anyway, try what I posted and see if you can sort, if you are not comfortable, ask someone with more knowledge can help you before you reach the point of no return and having to reinstall Windows.
