The Windows module installer has stopped working; I've tried patches offered by microsoft, without success...

    Hi guys

    I had installed up-to-date antivirus software and my problem seems to start after an update from Microsoft. Do a search on the web and you will see similar stories. I spent so much time trying to solve this I think it's better just to do a re-install. Certainly not the resolution I had hoped, but appreciate this type of questions are almost impossible to solve the problems through intermittent mail such messages.

    Thank you

    original title: Windows XP SP3 installation problem

    My windows installer has stopped working. I tried several 'fixed' found on the net, but nothing is done and would be grateful if someone could guide me through the solution.   Windows XP, SP3.

    In 'Services', 'Windows Installer' has been designated 'disabled '.   I changed this "manual".

    msiexec /unreg works ok.
    msiexec/regserver gives an error: "an event could not invoke any of the Subscriber.

    I have downlaoded and ran KB942288-V3 and got ' Setup error.   Access is denied. "

    I watched the permissions in the registry and seems to have all the permissions are ok, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

    Thanks for any help

    I would say that if you update your PC from SP2 to SP3 all your files will remain same.

    Once you do a new Installation or a custom don't store all your network cards and other device drivers.

  • Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

    On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

    When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

    Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

    Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

    Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

    Hi AndrewInNZ,

    Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
     
    I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
     
    (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
     
    (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
    It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.

    Original title: WMC no longer works after update of August 10

    Windows Media Center has stopped working after installation of my Windows 7 Professional pc all 11 updates gave me on August 11, 2010. I used system restore to the day before the updates, and install them individually. The first 9 no trouble with WMC. But the IE8 KB982664 for Windows 7 compatibility view list caused my action center to report that I needed to check the undeclared solutions to problems. WMC would still start. But after installing KB983590 .NET framework 3.5.1 for Windows 7 x 86, WMC has stopped working.

    After you uninstall update 2 above WMC would still not start.

    After using the system again restore forward updates, I installed the other 9 updated with, so far, no problem with WMC.

    Hi Andy,.

    I checked the reported compatibility list, and the game is listed as compatible.  Work in 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7?  I will try to reinstall the game, if you did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 recently.  If it is a new installation and does not, please visit the EA's Web site to get the latest patch for the game to see if that helps address your problem.  Let me know if you've done all that and you still have questions, and we can try something else.

  • get the message "setup.exe has stopped working" when trying to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows machine 7

    When you try to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows machine 7, I get a message "setup.exe has stopped working". I tried to run setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework installed on the affected machine 4.5.1. Could be the cause of this problem? Or does anyone know the root cause of this error?

    Hi - are you getting it at the beginning of installation, during or after 100% progression ended?

    Is it fair to LabVIEW you install, or is it drivers too, in this case, what was the last big package that has been installed at the time?

    This can be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver:
