• Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit. How to re-install Windows Installer?

  Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit SP2. How can I re - install Windows Installer? None of the 27 sets of update and Installer Cleanup solutions worked, a last resort option could work but it will not install without the Windows Installer Service.

  I tried each FixIt option, says the problem is solved, but isn't.
  I tried install Windows Installer 4.5, but it came back as not relevant to my system (because there is no previous installer to update).
  Tried a number of recommended patches, but they are all geared toward fixing the problems of Windows Update not a lack of Windows Installer.
  MicrosoftFixit50202.msi seems to have corrected Windows Update on my laptop but it won't install on Vista pc because there is no Windows Installer.
  I ran the installation disc the option 'fix' with the original, it finished but has not replaced Installer and nothing was fixed.

  How can I put the installer of Windows on my computer?  If there are files on the original drive that can be put into drive C what are they?
  Someone suggested to uninstall Service Pack 2, and then reinstall, but if I have no installer of Windows that may not work. Others said they reformatted to correct same question, but it did not work.

  These previous solutions have not helped:
  Could not locate the installer of Windows on Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
  Difficulty the installer of windows vista sp2
  code641/MSI
  Failed installation error msg error 80070641 Windows update

  After a month of butting heads with the refusal of Microsoft to actually help except to sell us all a new copy of Vista or Win7 at the normal price I solved the problem myself.

  1. I made a list of all my software purchased, including required registration keys, etc. and site URL for those who I don't have a disk for.
  2. Deleted registry back up on my external hard disk, reloading apparently one makes the backed up registry problems breed more.
  3. Inserted my drive from Dell to factory since 2007 and restarted. Press a key to boot from the CD. Chose "reformat hard drive' first, then when prompted hit"Reinstall"(slightly different wording on your computer).
  4. After you have reinstalled the factory disc 32-bit Vista, I spent hours 7 next installation of SP1, SP2 and hundreds of updates. Note that several times Windows Update said some updates to date has failed, but finally everything installed correctly by repeating the sequence of installation/reboot to update. There have been a few files that reported to turn off computer completely, I've shown... clicked with indicator shutdown (stop), let it do its thing until it turned off the computer and then the computer restarted manually later. After a total of 8 hours and 14 minutes as my Vista has been fully loaded, updated the installer is still intact, everything works very well and did not cost a penny.

  It has been 2 days since the reformatting/reinstall. I reinstalled all my additional software without problem. System Mechanic is back in service without any prejudice to my installation Service. Seems that something is involved with .NET Framework 4 triggered a defense mechanism that caused the installer should be deleted, solved the problem of the .NET Framework from Microsoft, but it can be installed by the installer being removed to protect our computers. The question was not just with Dell computers, it is Dell support is just as incompetent that Microsoft support batch so more Dell owners were here to complain.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  FYI: my mobile Samsung with Win7, the correction was easier because my installation Service has not been removed:

  1. Uninstalled all the software using .net Framework 4 (only 2)
  2. Uninstalled all .net Framework 4 bodies found on my list of programs (Client Profile and Essentials)
  3. A ran my System Mechanic to remove debris aka too much clutter and correct registry problems
  4. Laptop rebooted then ran Windows Update. All the updates installed with 3 requiring the judgment to install. .NET framework reinstalled with updates.
  5. Reinstalled my 2 pieces of software that use .NET Framework.

  It has been 4 days without any problem at all. So, in my case, it's .NET Framework 4 that created and continued the problem, even if the specific audit FixIt kept saying all .NET Frameworks have been installed correctly.

• Can I use easy transfer of the hard disk Vista for 64-bit Windows 7 computer?

  My computer laptop 32 bit vista is dead, but the hard drive is intact.  I can access it using a disk blacx disk drive hard usb.  All files seem to be good.  I gave the disc all permissions for changes, etc., so that it is not just to read only.  He sees my new laptop running windows 7 64 bit.  I found files in the record Office of the old drive so that part works.

  I tried to use easy transfer in windows 7.  Installed on the old disk of vista.  But I can't launch the vista easy transfer since this computer is dead.

  Is there a way I can transfer my emails, photos, documents and the itune files?

  Thank you.

  You can use Knoppixhttp://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (made on a different computer).  This should give you sufficient access to the Vista system 'dead' (if you can not get in any other way) backup/transfer your important data (like everything else you mentioned) to the one you use (an external hard drive, flash player,...). You will not be able to save your settings or your programs because they require the enforcement system to use easy transfer and regular functions copy and paste will do the trick. If Knoppix doesn't work, try slaving the hard drive to another computer, and then after the data you want to save it.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows in Windows 7 easy transfer is transferred programs and files and folders

  I want to get a new motherboard and processor, but because my Win 7 license is OEM, I have to get another Win 7 disk to replace the operating system on the hard drive, I watched the Windows Easy Transfer tool, but I'm not sure if I will lose programs, if that's the case then I'll upgrade not as some programs are very valuable for me and too expensive to replace I don't want to format the drive only to find out that the programs are sunk, I'll put up with the monitor sometimes not detected at startup upward.

  See you soon.
  Wilf

  To repeat, the drivers are obtained from your PC to the support site, in the case of a brand PC, or the manufacturer of the motherboard in the case of a generic desktop computer.

  Using the Device Manager will update the drivers from windows update, which is not the same thing, and they may have the functionality of the drivers of real equipment manufacturers
