Thank you.

  • Windows Vista Service Pack 2 causes the message "Windows install will not be accessible".

    I am running Windows Vista with all the updates installed but Service Pack 2. I uninstalled Service Pack 2 because it was causing problems with the windows installation service. I was unable to install microsoft office update because the windows installer could not be accessed, and Adobe Acrobat Reader could not be repaired or updated for the same reason.

    With installed Service Pack 2, I traveled all troubleshooting for the windows service install. I have a click with the right button on my computer, manage, service and open the properties of windows install. I have activated the service, but still couldn't install the updates Microsoft office or Adobe Acrobat Reader update/repair. I also tried to configure windows install automatic rather than manual when the computer starts.

    I had the problem "Windows install is not be available" for nearly a year. After trying to do a repair Vista boot without result, I uninstalled all updates. The problem disappeared. I decided to install the updates one by one. After you have installed Service Pack 2, the problem with windows install returned. The Service Pack installs completely and then open my computer properties indicates that Vista runs with Service Pack 2 installed.

    Uninstall Service Pack 2 and blocking automatic updates will not install it was my only solution to the issue of "Windows install is not be accessible". I fear that it may cause a security flaw in my computer, however.

    If someone has encountered this problem, and if so, is there a solution to install Service Pack 2 for my windows service install still works correctly?

  • When I try to install itunes I get error "windows install is not enabled.

    When I try to download and install itunes on my PC I get a notice that says that "windows install is not enabled...". How can I find the installer of windows and turn on? Thanx

    When you try to download itunes, download is stapped with a notice saying: "windows install is not marked on" how to find the windows on my PV Installer and turn it on?

    Here's a solution: go to start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services and select Windows Installer.  Double-click it to open it.  Make sure that it is set to automatic (change it if it's not).  If it is running, stop it and then restart it again.  If it is stopped, start it just.

    If this does not work, try to run the Windows Installer Cleanup of http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility-Download-18442.html utility and see if that helps.  You may need to restart the service after you have done this, and you may also have to restart.

    When you retry the installation, right-click on the executable installation file and click Run as administrator.  It is sometimes useful.

    I hope this helps.
