What would cause third-party software not to install if Windows Installer is running and up to date, and the PRC is launched?

Still trying to install a printer from Eastman Kodak to a computer that was just recovered. I have new versions of Windows Insataller and the third-party software for the printer. However, even when I put the installer on "automatic" and "start" the service, it won't stay like this. I run regedit, msiexec.exe / unregister and msiexec.exe/regserver. Nothing happened. I checked the system had full access to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. no problem. I ran chkdsk. Hard drive looks very good.

I need a response that I'm getting a little irritated that something as simple as install a printer should take this amunt of work. Oh, BTW, running Windows XP Home Edition, 2004 computer version. I don't know if this helps or not. The only thing I'm NOT willing to do is another system of recovery. That's how I got here in the first place. So, if anyone out there has suggestions, ideas (no matter how strange), ar solves this problem, I would greatly appreciate a response.
Thank you

Hello

Re-install Windows Installer and see if it helps.

Error "Windows Installer service could not be accessed" occurs when you try to add or remove a program in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003

Note: Run method 2 from the above link.

Hope this information helps.

    original title: reorganize the C drive

    I am very short of space on drive C (system disk).   I've been advised to rearrange the drive C partition, as I have a lot of space on the D drive.   What is the best way to do this without losing any data on C or by altering the system?   Can anyone recommend Vista management computer or maybe third-party software such as the Partition Wizard.

    and read these information from microsoft on windows optimization

    and using vista disk management you need to delete D: and extend C: into the unallocated space where D: is

    You can't fire a piece of D: on C: using vista DM

    Save all data, because it will be lost on D: and make sure that D: is not your recovery partition

  • How to set a synth MIDI of third-party software downloaded as the default synthesizer on Windows 7 (64 bit)?

    I downloaded CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth more Web Soundfont v1.0.  I'm unable to set up virtual machines to recognize the virtual computers.  Only GS Wavetable, as I understand it is not in the operating system.
    This is a 1 years computer with card mother i5, available on the 200 GB drive and 16 G memory.

    I am the author of Web SoundFont and I'll be happy to help you if you are having problems with my Bank and CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth.

    I second the comment of S.V. Sissi, even if your problem is mainly with newer versions of Windows, which simply do not have the control panel you are looking for choose the default of MIDI output device to be used in all Windows applications.
    This setting was not available up to Windows XP, but with newer versions, you will need to use third party software to configure it in a friendly way. On Vista/7, you can use the combobox control, you will find under the tab "MIDI Mapper" CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth settings window.
    On Windows 8, there is an alternative workaround available, although more difficult to apply than MS simply locked access to the MIDI Mapper to force using internal MS/Roland GS software Synth. Quite a bad decision for all lovers of noon with good hardware or software synths on their computer...
    You will find all the information you need on the site of VirtualMIDISynth (http://coolsoft.altervista.org/virtualmidisynth and http://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/blog/2013/03/what-happened-midi-mapper-windows-8).
  • Uninstall third-party software

    Hello. When I install software that requires simply by dragging the applications icon in the 'Applications' folder, I feel comfortable just by dragging it to the trash if I don't want. But when an application uses a Setup program I did not. The application that worries me particularly (but also other applications installed) is "Tune Up My Mac". I unintentionally installed its developers because he FRAUDULENTLY"portrayed as free. Yes, it is free to download, but it costs $40 to use it. And it runs automatically whenever I start my computer and gives me a hard time when I try to stop it. I don't have $ 40 to spend on it, even if I thought it was worth. So can someone please tell me how safely and completely get rid of it? TIA

    Any software, no matter from where it comes, which aims to 'clean up' or 'speed up' a Mac automatically is a scam.

    Any third party software that is not installed on the App Store or by drag-and - drop in the Applications folder and uninstall by drag - move to the trash, is a modification of the system.

    Whenever you delete changes to the system, they must be eliminated completely, and the only way to do this is to use the uninstall tool, if any, provided by the developers, or follow their instructions. If the software has been removed incompletely, you may redownload or reinstall even to finish the job.

    I never install modifications of the system myself, and except as stated in this comment, I do not know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find this information.

    Here are some general guidelines to help you get started. Suppose you want to remove the so-called "BrickMyMac" (a hypothetical example). First of all, menu using the product, check if there is one, for instructions. Not finding here, look at the Web site, let's say www.brickmymac.com. (Maybe it's not the name real site, if necessary, search the Web for the name of the product). If you don't find anything on the Web site or in your search, contact the developer. While you are waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be a request here as "Uninstall BrickMyMac." If this is not the case, open "BrickMyMac.pkg" and look for an uninstall button. The uninstall program can also accessible by clicking on the button customize, when one exists.

    Back up all data before making any changes.

    Generally, you will need to restart the computer in order to perform an uninstall. Until you do this, there may be no effect, or the unpredictable effects.

    If you can't remove the software in any other way, you will have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third party software, unless you're sure you know how to uninstall in the contrary case, it can create problems which are very difficult to solve.

    Try to remove the complex system of changes by hunting for files by name, often will not work and can make the problem worse. The same goes for 'utilities' as the 'AppCleaner"designed to remove software.

  • Are third party software to convert dynamic disk to basic Drive Safe?

    Hi all

    I installed Windows 8 Pro on my laptop recently. Now, my hard drive got converted to basic dynamic. I want to use third-party software like EaseUs Partition Manager or Assistant Partition AOMEI. I want to know if it is safe to do so?  Are there Complications?

    Hi harsh,

    Note:

    There is a high risk of data loss. Make sure that you back up all the your impotent data before trying these steps.

    You can try the steps from here (article is for Win 7, but it also applies to win 8)

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755238.aspx

    See the section additional Considerations of the article mentioned above.

    • The disk must not have any volumes nor contain no data until you can change to a basic disk. If you want to keep your data, back it up or move it to another volume, before converting the disk a basic disk.
    • Removal of volume will erase all data.

    Once the disks are converted to Basic, you must reinstall the operating system or to perform a factory reset.
