• During the installation of a program, receive the error message that Windows Installer is not installed properly on Vista

  I tried to install a program and I got an error message that says "Windows Installer" is not installed correctly and I need to contact the support staff.  I get also a message when I log that says steetings.ini is occupied by another program and it will not allow the sidebar to come.

  Try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to troubleshoot the problem with Windows Installer:http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml.

  For the issue of the Sidebar, do a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows Installer is not correctly installed

  While trying to install updates for Adobe Reader (current version is 9.3) failure, asking me to run Adobe Reader repair.  Then tells me that Windows Installer is not correctly installed or does not.  This is a 64-bit of Windows Vista Dell computer.  The same error message also appears with MS Office updates.

  We will try to repair Windows Installer (I guess it was properly aiinstalle at a time or you would have had a lot of problems other software installation).  We will try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility at:http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml and see if that solves the problem.

  If this does not work, what is the EXACT message you get on Windows Installer and when does it appear?  When the problem started?  Which version of Windows Installer you are using and which version has problems?  A new version has been installed recently, and it is this new version with the problem?  Which version of Vista you are using (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2)?  What are you installation requires Windows Installer, which causes this problem (name and version of the program)?

  I hope this helps.  Keep me updated, and please answer my questions in your next reply if necessary.

  Thanks and good luck!

• Windows Installer is not functional and not able to install Windows updates.

  Original title: reinstall Windows Installer on Windows Vista with Service Pack 2.

  How can I replace the installer of Windows on Vista (with SP2) when the redistributable version of the Windows Installer (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8483) website says that none of the versions applies to my system?

  For the moment, I find it on my Windows Installer system anywhere.  It seems to have disappeared without a known cause (I don't try to change anything) in early May.  Since then, no updates of Windows has been installed successfully and try to download a Microsoft program to solve the problem failed because Windows Installer is not in operation.

  It worked well. Help for others:-after you have created the fix.reg file, you may need to rename so that it is recognized as a .reg file. Double-clicking did not work and I had to run "regedit" and import the file. After than that everything has been A1and updates on Microsoft, iTunes and others worked well.
