• Error message: cannot access Windows Installer during the installation of Java SDK

  Original title: How To Install Windows Installer?

  OK, so I came to my laptop to do a writing in Word. Later, I tried to install the Java Development Kit, but he said something, of not being able to access Windows Installer. I ignored it and went to download a registry cleaner program to try to solve, but he also said "cannot access Windows Installer". Undertook research to install across the entire hard drive and the Windows registry and I found nothing. Not even the key MSIServer was there. I went to the Services and it was not there either. I opened my journal program, and he said that Microsoft Windows Installer has been deleted from the hard drive. The newspaper program that I use is open source and theres no script that writes, deletes, or replaces all files! So all I can do now is to install again, so I went to the Microsoft Download page: Windows Installer but when I tried to download mine)

  Windows6.0 - KB942288-v2 - x 86 .msu) he said first of all, "the search for updates...". "and then"update does not apply to your system. Any help would be appreciated!
  System Specs:
  -Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32-bit
  -Inter Core 2 Duo Processor
  -3 GB RAM
  -220 GB hard drive
  -105 GB free HDD
  -Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop

  OK people! I found the answer myself. The only thing I did was to do a system restore to the nearest date when it started to happen and after a few minutes I got the key MSIServer and everything started working again! YAY!

• Cannot install Itunes: ER MSG: cannot access WIndows Installer

  My first installation of Itunes did not. Prob. tried to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit computer.
  Now, all I get is error 'Can't access Windows install' message when I trey to update, reinstall or uninstall.
  Tried to follow KB support 315346 re-register msiexec for 32 and 64 bit - no idea if it worked but Itunes still generates the error message.

  2. double-click on Windows Installer

  c. double-click Disable Windows Installer on the right side.

  d. make sure that the configured or disabled option is selected.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

This is the way that you saved in step a, a - c.

  drive: \Windows\System32\Msiexec.exe/v

  Note in this path, drive is the drive where Windows is installed. The "/v" at the end of the path is a parameter required by Windows Installer. Do not delete it.

  5. If the value box does not contain the correct path, type the correct path in the box, and then click OK.

  Note Add "/v" until the end of the path, as shown in the previous step.

  6. close the registry.

  Reregister Windows install.

  a. Click Start, type %windir%\system32\msiexec / unregserver in the search box, then press ENTER.

• Unable to access Windows Update page

  I am running XP Service Pack 3 and were unable to access the Windows Update page for a few weeks now. I get an error message saying that "Internet Explorer can not locate the page". I tried several routes to access the update page, but they all fail. Analysis of virus and malware picked up nothing. I am running Internet Explorer Ver 8.

  It turns out that the problem was software malicious. After the last post, more I tried to do at least I could do: Internet Explporer wouldn't start again, I could not copy files from one drive to the other and my backup software has been disabled. I have reinstalled Windows to solve problems. Scans of my files from backup using Quick Heal has revealed the presence of Trojan.Gen, who may have let in some other bad guys. I can now access the update site.

• How to re-install Windows Installer under Vista?

• Access Windows Mail with Vista OS _

  How can I access email Windows that is running on a Vista operating system from another computer, more specifically from my computer at home (this one) that is running Windows 7.

  I was told MS that Windows 7 will not support Windows Mail, I prefer (although she was responsible here) and that only Windows Live Mail can be performed on-site.  Is this really the case?

  Many users never bother with e-mail software such as Windows Mail, preferring to use webmail online.

  The problem is when clicking on links in e-mail, on web pages, Windows launches the e-mail program default, which is Windows mail in Vista. There are only a few webmail providers who have developed a programme of assistance that will allow their webmail become the default of Windows.

  "leebc" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

  Well Ok, why do I still need a Windows Mail account, in this case?  Other than this is the default mail program in Internet Explorer, and I use it for this.
