Windows Installer installation of XP SP3 test software

Similar Questions

• I can't install Windows XP SP3. Windows Installer of my computer is buggy and I can't fix it.

  Title really says it all, but I guess I can go into the details here.  I'm trying to update my PalmOne M505 to work with Windows XP.  I have the .exe file.  It uses Windows Installer to install so I can read my M505 with XP.  Problem: Windows Installer is completely planted on my computer for some reason any.

  On a related note, I can't install updates; probably due to the installer of Windows being broken.  I followed the instructions on the page to support to the letter (and the number!), but it does not solve anything.  I could use a little help...

  Even if someone does that send me some kind of update package that does not use Windows Installer...

  And on a side note, what the bajeezus, I chose not only as my profile name!  It should be "Kaos_Lord!"

  Note 2: it is fixed?

  What the heck!  It is an error to Windows XP!  I did not in the Windows 7 forum.

  [This forum is for discussions specific to Windows Update on Win7, Vista, and Windows XP, despite what you see at the top of the page or in the URL. Yes, it's @# $% & confusing! [What were they thought?]

  Backup of personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then do a format and clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

• What would cause third-party software not to install if Windows Installer is running and up to date, and the PRC is launched?

  Still trying to install a printer from Eastman Kodak to a computer that was just recovered. I have new versions of Windows Insataller and the third-party software for the printer. However, even when I put the installer on "automatic" and "start" the service, it won't stay like this. I run regedit, msiexec.exe / unregister and msiexec.exe/regserver. Nothing happened. I checked the system had full access to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. no problem. I ran chkdsk. Hard drive looks very good.

  I need a response that I'm getting a little irritated that something as simple as install a printer should take this amunt of work. Oh, BTW, running Windows XP Home Edition, 2004 computer version. I don't know if this helps or not. The only thing I'm NOT willing to do is another system of recovery. That's how I got here in the first place. So, if anyone out there has suggestions, ideas (no matter how strange), ar solves this problem, I would greatly appreciate a response.
  Thank you

• When I try to install my software, I get an error message that "Windows Installer could not be accessed".

  Issue of Windows install

  I just bought a HP Photosmart printer and I am trying to install the software on my computer. (OS is Windows Vista.) When I try to install my software, I get an error message that "Windows Installer could not be accessed". I ran "msconfig" and found that the Modual from Windows Installer status is stopped. How should I proceed?

  Thank you, Jeanne Vecere

  You could try to go to the MICROSOFT website, go to KNOWLAGE database and in the search bar, try the search for WINDOWS INSTALLER. Look for any version that is newer than the one you have. If this fails, try searching on GOOGLE. You can also try to do an update to WINDOWS VISTA.

  IF YOU ARE RUNNING 64-BIT WINDOWS, MAKE SURE YOU PRINTER WORKS WITH 64-BIT.

• Cannot access my profile. (Windows XP SP3) Problem apparently because of Windows Installer.

  I can't connect to my profile, apparently because of a problem with Windows Installer.  It starts to open a session and when I try to access my documents I get a message unable to access my profile and if I'm logged a temporary profile: "Details: access to refusedowever, everything seems to be there, except for my usual wallpaper and I can access my files."  In the msconfig Services tab, Windows Installer shows as stopped. I tried to reinstall, but it won't download because of the error of windows install. The keyboard started to do fun things like key assignment got confused. My admin profile works except for the Windows Installer problem which stops remove me or update Java. I checked for malware and viruses (no) run "sfc/scannow" ad "chkdsk /f.  All system restore points are missing.  If I can access my files, the system asks me my first and last name and initials prior to providing access. I have now the temp profile open in safe mode and note that a file that I saved when you previously logged into the temp profile has been saved successfully to the new folder that I created. In addition, when you are connected to normal mode, I found that I couldn't access to Mozilla Firefox, open MS Internet Explorer and click on a link to something (can't remember what) and Mozilla Firefox open as usual.

  Things that I did just before this problem appeared: installed and run Malwarebytes and Superantispyware, tried to update Java and VLM Media Player using AVAST! interface, and then without using AVAST! interface. Both failed, but something else I've updated OK. Tried to download and install Windows Installer 4.5 (without success). So I then tried to repair/reinstall command of the race by using regedit and regserver command screen.

  I wonder whether to follow the instructions in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756. However, as it asks me to back up the registry before you edit it. As all my previous restore points disappeared, I don't trust to back up the registry. How can I back up the registry of my external hard drive?

  You have a damaged or corrupted user profile.  A way to recover from this condition is to perform a system restore, but since you have no restore points, you will need to recover with another method.  The usual way to recover is to create a new user profile and then copy the data from the damaged to the new profile user profile.  This procedure is not usually difficult.  Choose from the selection below:

  "How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"

  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >

  "How to copy a user profile data damaged to a new stars in Windows XP"

  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151 >

  Almost always, corruption of the profiles is accompanied, otherwise caused corruption in the file system.  At an ideal time, it is strongly recommended to perform a 'chkdsk' operation with the "/ R" or "Repair" option.  Note that this operation will take place at the next reboot before Windows loading completely, cannot be interrupted and can take more than a few hours depending on the size/speed of hard disk and the number of errors found...  Sometimes, this in-and-of-itself can solve the problem.

  To answer your question on the backup of your registry - try the freeware "C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT" to create a backup.  It has been used and recommended in this forum for years.

• Setup removes the junction point NTFS redirect the folder system "\Windows\Installer" on another disk.

  On a computer running Windows XP Professional SP3, I redirected the "\Windows\Installer" system folder, with a junction to a record point in a tree of directories to a different drive.  The operation was conducted and verified using "junction v1.06 - creator of junction point analysis viewer and Windows' published in 2010 by Mark Russinovich. I moved all the files and subdirectories contained in the original "\Windows\Installer' in the target directory (the these files had been previously copied to a temporary directory and after the move, I checked that they were visible in the folder '\Windows\Installer' open the symbolic link with the Explorer).
  Then I launched a system patch, and I discovered that the installation of the update of the software deleted program point junction that I created, deleted all the cache contained in the directory with the name of substitute target different files and recreated the "\Windows\Installer" folder in the original disc.
  I tested this behaviour a couple of times, installing various software and updates, so I assume that it does not depend on the software that is installed but the installation program itself, which cannot handle a point of junction of the folder "install".
  No warning is given before deleting the junction point and all of its contents.  With a similar procedure, I made two points of junction for '\Windows\Downloaded facilities' and '\Windows\Microsoft.NET' and they have exploited properly.
  Out of understanding points do not work on startup, so it is impossible to redirect for example. :

  • \Windows
  • \Windows\System32
  • \Windows\Config

  "\Windows\Installer" isn't one of those cases, and it is not used at startup.

  Is it possible to use a junction point to redirect the \Windows\Installer on another disk/partition folder, or Setup will always delete all the files that have been targeted in the naming of replacement?

• Windows installation interrupted as Equium A300D stops itself

  Hi all

  I've had my Toshiba Equium A300D for 2 years now. Meanwhile, it works normally, sometimes stops himself maye because it was too hot.

  Recently, he tried to install updates to Windows Update, but never successful. I left the computer to update all night and there was 2 of 12 updates... all the time so I always had to shut down the computer by pressing the power button.

  I was unable to change the setting to update Windows automatically, because every time I tried to do it froze. Most of the other commands became even viewing photos that do not meet.

  It was until my computer could not connect to a certain wireless network, while other devices may I decided to reinstall Windows completely. He was installing normally but it got too hot and the computer closes again!

  I tried to install again and he was arrested again, but I got up in the final phase of the game when I turned it on again, it was always 'finihing the installation may take several minutes. lease do not interrupt or shut down the computer. Let him over several hours, but he did not move to a different stage. Before the computer shuts down, I think I arrived at the scene after that.

  I tried to press F8 to start a new installation, but he's only got in this screen.

  What can I do?

  Please help me! Thank you very much in advance!

  I am in Germany at the moment, but I live and I bought this computer from the United Kingdom.

  The disc usually contains only drivers and software prétestées so installation shouldn't t be a problem because it s pre-tested software from Toshiba.

• Tecra M5 - new installation of XP SP3 - no sound

  I performed a clean installation of XP SP3 on a Tecra M5, downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba support site, installed in order (according to the install.txt) and that all work sound bar.

  I tried the two drivers available on the download site, both give the same result - windows is pleased and says everything works fine, but still no sound. I tried the (mute) key and its appears under the name now. Volume (on windows) is complete with all other controls. All controls are NOT dumb. I also tried the handwheel of volume at the two extremes, still no sound.

  I looked on the internet and found other users having problems with the sigmatel and XP SP3 drivers. But have not been able to find the right ones for this model. The machine is a Tecra M5 (PTM50E).

  Someone at - it ideas? A download of a compatible driver SP3 would be good.

  See you soon.

  Yes. Remove SP3 and use SP2 supported. I checked the facilities list for this model of laptop and on the first place is classified - Windows XP Professional SP2 ServicePack2.

  I don't know that the drivers on the Toshiba download page are the same drivers as in the recovery image. This means that they are probably not tested with SP3. To be honest, I always use SP2 and I'm happy with it.

  If you have time check also this interesting thread.
