Why the windows installer says it's inaccessible?

• Please can someone explain why the windows Installer keeps appearing when nothing is installed? Any way to stop this?

  Why the Windows Installer keep popping up, either on a web page or an e-mail to the office when nothing is installed.  No way to stop that... ?

  The desktop of your computer, click on the tab "Start", usually located at the bottom left of the screen (on Vista, it's maybe the windows symbol instead of the word 'Start').

  Now, find and click on the program title 'run '. Vista users can locate this program by typing "run" in the area of research at the bottom of the menu 'start '.

  Once you open 'Run', type 'MSCONFIG' in the empty box and click 'OK '. This will open the System Configuration utility.

  With the open System Configuration utility, select the tab "Services".

  Scroll down the list of services (it may be advantageous to click on the 'service' column to sort the services by alphabetical order) until you find the program "Windows Installer".

  Now, click on the checkbox next to the name of the Windows Installer and click on the button 'Disable' at the bottom of the Configuration of the system.

• Why the Windows Installer is called launch of CHM

  Hi all

  I use RoboHelp 10 to create CHM files. The results so far look great, with one exception.  When we launch our CHM file, on some machines, it causes a pop-up Windows Installer.  He is looking for our Revit.MSI file.  The problem is illustrated in this video: http://screencast.com/t/JaajIML0gkBS

  I can solve the problem in two ways:

  1. who rejected dialogue works, so it is not preventing the CHM to work, that's all just annoying.

  2. I can also plug my USB key that contains this MSI, but it is only a temporary solution.  Which means in fact it does not try to install anything, he just wants to know that the MSI exists.

  This problem occurs on some machines, but not all.  Our former CHM files, created with another tool, do not have this problem, so I guess that's unique to RoboHelp or something in my project. I spent a bunch of time on the forums and just empty.  Our programming staff is also perplexed.

  I tried this solution but it did not help: http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2012/10/resolving-chm-file-error-in-robohelp.html

  I did an update of RoboHelp to see also if this could solve the question and I saw the log files when the CHM is created and do not see anything that seemed to call the other program.

  I hope that it is a matter of upgrading certain aspects of Robohelp to prevent this.  Any tips?

  Thanks much for the advice on troubleshooting.

  Kind regards

  Glynnis

  Hello again

  Well, it gets sorta summary here in recent years. Why? Due to the advent of 64-bit operating systems.

  See, if you just double-click on a CHM file and you are on a system 64-bit, you are probably using the 64-bit version of the HTML Help Viewer. But if you click on the button view immediately after the compilation, RoboHelp likely launch the 32-bit version of the HTML Help Viewer. (Two applications different and two different experiences possible)

  The only thing I can understand that RoboHelp * COULD * be influence here is * IF *, your CHM is using the glossary tab or browse sequences. If so, a file named HHActiveX.dll is used. This file is specific RoboHelp for this role. Other than that, it's just a CHM.

  See you soon... Rick

• Why the windows installer opens whenever I start Outlook Express?

  Why is open MSI whenever I start Outlook Express, the only way to kill this process via ctrl/alt/del, when I try to stop the process also kills outlook.

  Often, it's because she's trying to install the auditor spelling or similar components.  Try going to tools | Options | Spelling and uncheck the option to always check the spelling and see if that fixes it.

• Is it possible to move the \windows\installer folder? The reason why I ask is because it takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another disk with more space.

  The \windows\installer folder takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another drive if possible. Ashwin

  No, I don't think. Just about anything in the Windows directory cannot be moved. You will need to find another way to clear disk space. Try to compress your drive hard (if you don't know how, ask).

• How do I know which programs to take off the windows Installer CleanUp list?

  Windows Installer Cleanup of

  * original title - how do I know which programs to take off the windows Installer CleanUp list? I don't want to uninstall or remove a program that I always use currently__ *.

  Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301 (MS Office only - replaced by the 'Fix It' utility)
  (Note: the Windows CleanUp utility has been replaced by the "Fit It":http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ )

  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
  It was created to correct software installations that failed during the installation process and leaving a bunch of files (including a file name that ends with an extension .msi (= MicroSoft Installer .msi). For example an installation failed MS Office (note I said "failed").
  See: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011185721033.aspx

  Also if when you installed MS Office you decided at the time you had no need of Power Point and chose not to install it. You find out later you need to make a Power Point presentation, insert the Office CD and try installing PowerPoint and it causes an error.

  The tool using Windows Installer Cleanup will remove damaged installation files (located in C:\Windows\Installer). You then install Office and Power Point, once more, as they are not more present in the list of programs in the Add/Remove Control Panel. But at least this time Office and Power Point will install without errors as the Windows Installer Cleanup utility did what it was designed to do.

  The unfortunate side effect of the cleanup tool is when you select and delete software that works correctly you then will no longer be able to install this software because it is no longer in the Add/Remove Programs list.

  Now as to why there is so many files in the C:\Windows\Installer:
  You will find lots of them. MSI files belong to software such as Java, Microsoft .NET Framework software AV, Norton Ghost, file downloaded during a Windows Update session and so on. It would seem that some software will clean up after itself and deletions, this is the file that were in the folder C:\Windows\Installer. Windows Update failure will create and leave the folders and files behind every time that you try to install the update and so you could end up with a large number of files taking up disk space.

  It could also be a lot of files (is most needed) orphans.
  If you still have the original Windows Installer Cleanup utility, and then by using the msizap (msizap g!) command removes all cached Windows Installer data files that have been orphaned.
