  Hello Lowki11,

  You can also try a System File Checker to see if you have corrupted system files.

  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 violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Reboot your system.

  I hope this helps.

• The Windows Installer appears when not claimed after you install the new printer.

  I installed a Canon S400 printer and now when I open a folder, file or no matter what shortcut (either by double clicking or right click Open) MSI is trying to install one of the two applications PDF I had already installed. After canceling the installation program, the file opens. How can I fix? I am running Windows XP SP2. Please do not say reinstall applications, I have uninstalled them because they proved to be useless junk.

  If you don't want to reinstall applications, then use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to remove these entries.

• BlackBerry Smartphone Windows Installer appears when I turn on computer

  I have a blackberry pearl 8110 Rogers and Desktop Manager 5.0.1

  Since then every time I turn on the computer, I downloaded the Desktop Manager, I get the windows box install that says "preparing to install - please wait when windows configures Roxio Media Manager.

  Further messages coming up to say...

  "Gathering of the information... the component you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable... "

  "Click OK to try again or enter a different path to the folder containing the installation package"Roxio Media Manager.msi"

  The path to the display on the screen is c:\documents and settings\Jeffrey \Application Data\Research Brown (my name) in Motion\BlackBerry\Updates\6852A378-7780-4e08-B655-343C8D2C36AE\SR_MM\

  I can't get out of these messages until I try to cancel the installation.  When I cancel, I get an error code 1706.

  When I try to uninstall the Fund Manager and reinstall, it won't let me because the system says that there is already an installation is going on, which is the one above.   Nothing happens here...

  Could you describe the steps I must take to solve it?   As mentioned, I just can't unstall because the system thinks already there is a current installation.  error code 1500

  This problem takes a lot of resources on my computer because I can not also download the latest versions of adobe flash and PDF reader.

  Hello!

  I suggest the following steps (reboot insert a lot of restarting your PC... not only restarts, but at full power down). In addition, it is recommended that you are connected to the PC on an account with full administrator rights. In addition, Vista, use the option "Run As Administrator" for everything.

  (1) properly uninstall the RIM DTM software:

  KB02206 how to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software

  (2) get a new RIM DTM software download: (I suggest to install the version WITHOUT DTM and turn on mass storage mode transfer files between your pc and the BB)

  Download the software for the support of Blackberry

  * Choose the version which is more recent and (if any) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):

  KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

  (3) install DTM on your PC

  (4) start the configuration Organizer:

• Cannot install Itunes: ER MSG: cannot access WIndows Installer

  My first installation of Itunes did not. Prob. tried to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit computer.
  Now, all I get is error 'Can't access Windows install' message when I trey to update, reinstall or uninstall.
  Tried to follow KB support 315346 re-register msiexec for 32 and 64 bit - no idea if it worked but Itunes still generates the error message.

  Hello

  Please use the Windows Vista Forums.

  Start the Windows Installer service

  1. Click Start, type Services.msc and press {ENTER}

  2. double-click on Windows Installer

  3. set the Windows Installer to Manual startup type

  4. Click Start to start the service. Note the error message, if any.

  5. click on OK.

  Make sure that the Windows Installer is not disabled if group policy.

  a. Click Start, type gpedit.msc in the search box and press ENTER to open the Group Policy object editor.

  b. click on Computer Configuration, administrative templates, click Windows components and then click Windows Installer.

  c. double-click Disable Windows Installer on the right side.

  d. make sure that the configured or disabled option is selected.

  If this does not help, check that the location of the Msiexec.exe in the Windows registry file matches the location of the Msiexec.exe file on the hard drive. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  2. in the left pane, click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, click SYSTEM, click on CurrentControlSet, click Services, and then MSIServer.

  3. in the right pane, double-click ImagePath.

  4. in the dialog box change channels, make sure that the string in the value box contains the correct path of the Msiexec.exe file on the hard drive. This is the way that you saved in step a, a - c. For example, if the Msiexec.exe file is located in the drive: \Windows\System32 hard disk, the correct path of the Msiexec.exe in the zone data file of value is the following path:

  drive: \Windows\System32\Msiexec.exe/v

  Note in this path, drive is the drive where Windows is installed. The "/v" at the end of the path is a parameter required by Windows Installer. Do not delete it.

  5. If the value box does not contain the correct path, type the correct path in the box, and then click OK.

  Note Add "/v" until the end of the path, as shown in the previous step.

  6. close the registry.

  Reregister Windows install.

  a. Click Start, type %windir%\system32\msiexec / unregserver in the search box, then press ENTER.

  b. type %windir%\system32\msiexec/REGSERVER, and then press ENTER.

• After uninstalling printer Windows Installer and Microsoft Office error "this update package not could be opened"

  Original title: Windows Installer and Microsoft Office problems after you have uninstalled the printer

  I tried to install more than one printer, a HP Photosmart C4280 by downloading the drivers and updates on the HP site. I uninstalled the printer after it failed to scan a document and I had no more use for it. Then the trouble started. When I tried to open some programs (iTunes, Skype, etc.) for the first time after the uninstall of the printer, a window "Windows Installer" popped up. After you have configured Windows Installer, the program would open normally. However, when I try to open any Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.), Windows Installer appears, but it turns into a window that reads:
  "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package. »

  Microsoft Office programs are open at all, and I desperately need my programs of Microsoft Office to work even faster. I would appreciate it if Windows Installer will stop trying to configure when I open a program also. Can someone help me please?
