Unable to start the service to install under Windows 7, get the error 5 access is denied

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 went to Serives.MSC and noticed that my Windows Installer service is not started. When I pressed 'Start' (manual, automatic and automatic (delayed start) to start the service, it said 'error 5 access is denied' I'm an administrator, but it did nothing.)

I tried many things

I tried 'net user administrator /active' then go to the administrator (the account) and did the same thing, but he did nothing.
I tried to make another administrator account, and then did nothing.
When I type "net start MSIServer" in command prompt (ran as administrator), but it says "error 5 access is denied."

Hello

 

Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

 

You cannot start the Windows Installer service and get error Error 5 access is denied.

 

Have you tried to install or uninstall any program?

The problem may occur may be corrupted Windows Installer engine.

 

I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below

 

Method 1: Re-save the installation service

 

a. click Start, type MSIEXEC /Unregister. in the search box and press enter

b. Click Start, type MSIEXEC / REGSERVER in the search box and press on enter.

 

Method 2: File system (CFS) Scan Checker

 

SFC scan will find all missing or incorrect system files and repairs them.

 

See the site:

  • Unable to start the Service for the Protection of software

    I am running Windows RT on a Lenovo ZTE K3011W-F (aka Lynx). This device has been used by two people before, and so was a previous configuration. I did a factory reset on the device, except Windows now refuses to turn on, so I can't update/customize/upgrade, etc.. It is not immediately ban, but eventually it can be seen as harmful to the security of the system.

    I traced the symptoms to what seems to be a reasonable explanation, that is, the Service for the Protection of software is not running, and when he was invited to run, it returns an error indicating: error 5: access is denied.

  • Unable to start the virtual machine after restoration

    I use Veeam Backup & Restore 6.5 to back up my vm.  I always do a test restore to ensure that my backups are good.  I'm having a problem with a restore.  The 32-bit Server 2003 vm starts just fine on the main host it runs on.  All the vm are 64-bit except for one who is a 32-bit Server 2003 vm.  Restoring the machine virtual and implemented on a host except the 32-Bit vm Server 2003 test.  After restoration and trying power to the top, I get the following error:

    Unable to start the virtual machine.

    Viewed performance counters require version 3 or greater of architectural performance monitoring.

    Anyone know if there is a fix for this problem?

    TIA,

    Mux

    I assume you are using different hardware (CPUs, the BIOS settings) for VMS restored!

    The virtual machine has VPCM enabled, which causes the problem. You can either disable it in vSphere Web Client (you can do this in the vSphere Client Windows), or directly modify the .vmx VM by setting vpmc.enable to "FALSE".

    For how toggle this setting in the Web Client see allow virtual in the Web Client vSphere CPU Performance counters. If you want to edit the .vmx file manually, you need to delete/re-add the VM from the inventory or recharge (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026043)

    Above is autoruns to loadup questions

    If you still can't find the entry in the registry, download Autoruns.  Let it finish the scanning, then click the Services tab.  Find the name of the service 'wrong' in the left column ("Autorun entry").  Right click and select ' go to '.  You will go straight to the appropriate entry in the registry for editing.

    I would like to examine what you load at startup. You should see if you have any programs from loading during the startup process, which can be changed on request.
    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.
    Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

    When you use Autoruns, you will need to click on the "Connection" tab to see what runs at startup.
