• 9065 ERROR - PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS INSTALL "INITIALIZE LOGGER IS NOT YET CALLED".

  CANNOT INSTALL CA 2010, CONTACTED REP AND THEY SAID IT IS THE SETUP OF WINDOWS. BELARC ADVISOR SAYS I HAVE WINDOWS INSTALL VERSION 4.5.6002.18005.  TRIED THE ROAD AUTO, "MICROSOFT FIX IT" FOR AN ERROR 1606 AND IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND MY PRODUCT ID. CANNOT TYPE IN THE PRODUCT ID EITHER.  WHICH LED ME TO DISCUSS WITH YOU NICE PEOPLE.  ANY INPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED

  Here are the instructions to correct the Error 1606 (that occurs quite frequently as I see here often).  It affects Windows Installer before repair.

  This problem (Error 1606) occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.

  The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.  I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.

  Here are the steps to fix it.

  1. click on start, run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

  2. look for the following registry key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

  3 remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.

  886549 KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549: Regedit open again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point to new, click expandable string value, type the value name that you want to restore (AppData) and then press ENTER. Right click on this value, click change, type the value in the value data for the value name box, and then click OK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.

  Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key.  If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.

  You say that you have no protection against viruses on the machine you.  It's not good and I suggest STRONGLY that fix you this.  Malware can do all kinds of damage to your system which it crashing to the point where the only option is a clean re-installation or even to delete your important files or using your system to send extend to everyone in your contact list who they wouldn't appreciate (and other things as well - but you get the point) and you don't want that.  The good thing is that the best answer is FREE!  Try Microsoft System Essentials at the: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Microsoft-Security-Essentials-Download-131683.html or Avast at: http://www.avast.com/index.  Do not run both at the same time (which can cause all sorts of conflicts and problems) - choose one and give it a try.  I use MSE myself and I've never been successfully infected (even if I only used it for a little while - I used Pandasoft before that, but there is no reason to pay for what you can get for free).  Once you have your Installer is working again, I suggest that the first thing we do is to download MSE and install it and set it to run automatically in the background and update automatically and check your emails as files and downloaded and existing.

  I hope this helps.

• 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?

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves. Composition of such problems, Geek Squad is also infamous for having failed to download/run the Norton removal tool before installing another AV app or security suite!

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  5. restart & test (i.e. display SP2 & install it again). [2]

  If I had to format a hard drive, it will delete everythink including windows xp disk if yes I would be able to see all thinking when I turn on my computer, as if that were to happen I could use windows install for install windows xp

  Gaara_2k6,
  Welcome to the responses of the Forums.  The short answer to your questions are Yes and no and no.

  Depends on how you format the drive, it will delete everything on the drive.  Now, it may still be recoverable with a software specialist or moving to a data recovery company.

  If you formatted your hard drive you would not be able to start to do anything, because there would be nothing on the startup disk.  With the Windows XP CD or with the recovery media provided by the manufacturer of the PC is the only way to reinstall Windows.

• Attempt to install custom software and update Windows install.

  original title: windows installer install problem 3.1

  I use windows vista home with service pack 2 installed. I have a custom made software. Before installing this software, I need to install 4 i.e. cystal reports, dotnet, report viewer and Windows Installer 3. I was able to install the first 3, but the windows installer fails, it is said to be "saturated". I also tried MSI 4.5 but of no use. My software runs well on Windows XP. Can anyone help.

  Installation with Windows Vista version is:
  Windows install 4.0
  Version - 4.0.6000.16386
  Released with Windows Vista

  Windows Installer 3.0 is released with Windows XP SP2. It was released as a redistributable.

  You can download Windows Installer 3.0 Redistributable from the Microsoft downloads site, but it has not been created to run on Windows Vista. It will probably give an error message that you have a newer version installed.  You may need to change the program to look for a different version of Windows Installer.

  You may be able to install the software in Compatibility Mode.
  If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
  Use the following steps:
  (1) right click on the program
  2) click Properties
  3) click on the Compatibility tab
  (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.
