Windows 8 "the Windows Installer Service can access."

Dear Skype community support,

Skype does not allow you to connect more, but requires to download the latest version.

Instead of installing the new version, Skype corrupts Windows Installer and it hides in the services.msc list and generates the error message: "the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Please contact support for assistance.

Please provide a way to install Skype and repair Windows Installer

Thank you in advance.

Found. This .reg file reinstalls Windows Installer missing and at least for my computer fixed the issue. Hope this helps you as well.

I'm running a Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and I 2.38 GB of available RAM, so I don't think that the lack of memory is the problem here. What should I do?
