• Unable to run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility

  My problem is that I can't run the Windows Install Cleanup Utility (WICU). I'm wanting to run what I install iTunes. I get an error that I don't have permissions to change the text. I can't uninstall the program as well because of this permissions error. I am the administrator and the only user of my laptop.

  I also received the error that the program is not associated with file associations. Honestly I don't know what to do.

  Thanks for the reply.

  Hello

  I would like to start going through the steps in the following article. It covers a large number of Windows Installer problems.  Ignore all the steps that deal with download and inst using the cleanup utility, as we are not at that stage yet. :-)

• Folder of Windows/Install Clean or update install Cleanup Utility

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition and my folder C:/Windows/Installer is 21 GB.  I googled how to clean safely this folder but all answers point to Installer Cleanup Utility.  I found this note on the site which provided the program download "Windows Installer Cleanup (MSICUU2.exe) utility that was previously referred to as in this article resolved a few installation problems but sometimes cause problems with other programs or components installed on the computer. For this reason, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download Center. "Is there a solution to update?

  Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows Installer Cleanup utility and removed from its server to download because, according to Microsoft "while the utility Windows Installer Cleanup fixed some installation issues, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer."

  I didn't know all the information about the "other components" were damaged or under what circumstances, but I guess someone, something had some time, fool you.

  However, you can still get the Installer Cleanup utility, including the utility msizap.exe (which is packed with the Installer Cleanup utility but is not the same thing), http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html

  If you want to be ultra careful, get you the imagery of disk or disk cloning software to backup (which is A good thing to have in any case) and create a complete backup of the drive before using the program installation Cleanup Utility or msizap.  In this way, if anything goes wrong in fact, you can restore your system from backup.

• Utility Windows Install CleanUp

  I have recently installed Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.  I read that the warnings on the MS download page on some applications have to be reinstalled.  Elsewhere on the download page of this application is marketed as aclean tool that removes just wandering or oprphaned install files install form incomplete or broken.  I would like to clean up and remove any unnecessary or corrupted files to try to get my computer to recover his speed, but when I open this utility and it scans all installed applications, and returns the list, he warns that some or all applications will need to be reinstalled.  Is - this utility not clean up stray or incomplete installation files without affecting the application installed with Windows Installer?  I don't really have the resources for many applications to reinstall them, if there is a high risk of corrupting applications until point duty reinstall maybe I should just remove the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and forget the orphans to install files that may be present...

  Any advice?

  I don't think that the Windows Installer CleanUp utility is the right tool for you.  It is intended to clean up after installation (or uninstallation) installation failure error messages or interferes with the installation of other programs.   It completely removes a program, requiring you to reinstall in order to use the program.

  Revo Uninstaller may be able to do what you want.

  Just have the unnecessary files on the disc won't slow down your computer, unless it is critical to running out of disk space.  Find out what programs run automatically at startup and disable or remove those that are not necessary. Boulder computer Maven

• A Windows 7 Install Cleanup Utility exist?

  I want to clean the last attempts to install Itunes before I try again.  It seems that there finally is a 64-bit version of Itunes available and I know that previous attempts have probably left the residue of software from my previous attempts, so I would delete these files, then try again.

• File of Windows Install CleanUp

  I currently have 30.4 gig of garbage too much space on my C drive in my Windows/Installer program.  I am less then 2% free space.  I have downloaded and run the Windows Installer CleanUp utility only yesterday and who cleared 2gig (I was almost 33 concert in this file to start).  Run this utility has also deleted the software that I use the most on my pc (Sony eReader, iPhone and iTunes and all programs and Microsoft Office 2003!).  I was not able to install SP3 for XP, and I can't run a defragmentation because there is not enough space.  How can I get rid of the junk that has been implemented there (unknown to me until I saw this hidden file) since 2005?  Please help someone.  Thank you.

You could try running Disk Cleanup, it of a free tool inside Windows and could remove unnecessary files and also try to check Add/Remove programs and uninstall prograns that you don't want.

• Windows Installer CleanUp utility has messed my windows?

  I ran an installer which provides a plug-in, PluginA, for the program "ArcMap.exe. Later, I tried to remove this program, but it did not work. The problem seems to be a bug in the plugin installer.

  I browsed the Internet and found the "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility 7.2" tool which I installed it.

  I ran this utility and managed to remove the plug-in.

  However I noticed that when I started Outlook, it had to be configured each time :-(.

  So I uninstalled the utility.

  Then, I installed a plug-in for the program "ArcMap.exe", PluginB. This program installation, I know to be bug free.

  However when I run ArcMap.exe it displays "Please wait while Windows configures PluginB" and this process never ends.

  I tried to uninstall PluginB and it works, but I need to have installed PluginB.

  Also, I always have the problem with the installer of windows running everytime I open Outlook.

  It seems to me that "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility 7.2" screwed up my installation of Windows.

  How can I fix it? Unfortunately I was not wise enough to have any system restore points useful.

  Thanks in advance for answers!

  Microsoft had removed and abandoned the Windows Installer Cleanup utility several years ago.

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any breach of integrity

• Problem with the Windows Installer Cleanup utility

  I'm having a problem installing of a particular program, and told me to run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility.

  I downloaded msicuu2.exe and when I ran, got a Windows Script Host window:

  Script: C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000. TMP\StartMsi.vbs
  Online: 17
  Char: 1
  Error: Permission denied
  Code: 800A 0046
  Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

  What that tells me, and what I (think I) do?

  Hi Ernest,

  Try to run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility as administrator and check if that helps.

  To run as administrator

  1. right click on the .exe file

  2. Select run as administrator

  Check if it works fine without any error message.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Windows Installer Cleanup Utility cannot run because corrupt Microsoft installation Service

  I can't get the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility to run, I get an error message "the Microsoft Installer could not access the Service."  I tried re-registration of the service nothing is done.  I work on a customer's computer and can not get KB2467173 or Windows Live Essentials update, so I am unable to run internet explore in the standard 32-bit functionality.

  I would avoid reinstalling Windows if possible.

  Note: Windows Installer Cleanup utility is no longer supported and is not available via a Microsoft page.

  Comment: If your client is in the habit of running "Registry cleaners", a clean installation of Windows will be your only recourse.

• Windows Install Cleanup Tool error when you try to install it on Windows Vista Business

  After a failed installation of Adobe CS 4 on my Windows Vista Business 32-bit system, I am now unable to update or uninstall anything Adobe on my PC. I had read several forums, Adobe specifically, when users suggested to install and use the Windows Installer Clean up tool.  I have successfully used this app in the past with Windows XP, but when I try to install on my Vista box cleaning tool I am immediately presented with the error:

  Windows Script Host: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".

  Does anyone know a solution for this?  I tried hunting one down a few months ago, but could not find something that solved this problem.  Or are the users of Vista GROUND just when it comes to this cleanup tool? I want desperately to remove/repair my Adobe products (which work, but cannot be updated) without the need to make a nuclear weapon and to open and lose time reloading of each piece of software, to restore the profiles of boards, etc...

  Hello NMITGuy,

  You can view the following information about the error: there is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".
