Windows Installer installed incorrectly

• Corrupted Windows Installer on the new Windows 7 laptop

  I recently bought a new Dell Studio laptop, running Windows 7 (64-bit).  It is my first experience with this new version of Windows.  After search for and resolve a number of issues, I have still a few that I can't get rid of, and all these point to a corrupt Windows Installer (for example, when you try to install Windows Mobile Device Center, I get a dialog box saying "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.  This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly.  Contact your assistance support team. ».  As is my personal laptop at home, I have no support staff).  I saw a number of detailed instructions on how to fix this in XP and Vista, but nothing specific to 7.  And when I try to find the correct file to download on the Microsoft site, all the ones I looked at seems to say that they are not compatible with my system.  Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

  First of all, make sure you have Windows Installer installed:

  1. right click on an empty area of the taskbar, and select Task Manager.
  2. click on the Services tab in top then Services button at the bottom.
  3. see if you can find the Windows Installer service and if its started.

  .. .on mine in manual/stopped.

  If its missing or damaged for some reason, try to see if a SFC scan will fix it:

  1. click on start-> Accessories then do a right click on command prompt.
  2. Select run as administrator.
  3. type SFC/scannow
  4. a scan that will take a few minutes to complete turns on. If possible SFC will be auto-fix any problem files.

• Installation/uninstallation of Windows software is not available or is installed incorrectly.

  10 days ago, I had a crash on my computer then download a new antivirus package last of McAfee. I deleted the files altered the antivirus.

  Since my installation/uninstallation of Windows software has stopped working with 'not available message' I use Revo uninstaller, to remove the software from the hard drive and I cannot install the software with the window Setup.

  Does anyone know how to remove a corrupt Windows install and install new software?

  As another consequence of the foregoing, Windows Update does not work all of the updates fail to install on multiplle automatic updates - even after using Microsoft Fixit Center. To try to solve this problem, I uninstalled packages network 4, 3.5 and 3 in reverse order with the intention of re - install. Unfortunately I'm not able to accomplish this task using Windows Update-"all the priority updates are 0 bytes

  All the specific details to remove and re - install the Windows Update software from the hard drive files. I've completed this task a few years ago, following instructions from Microsoft Support, but I do not have that information now.

  All the advice/guidance criicism has accepted with gratitude

  Hi Thomas,

  I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

  Method 1: Unregister and register the Windows Setup program again

  (a) click Start, run, type MSIEXEC /Unregister. and then click OK. Even if you do it right, it may seem that nothing is happening.

  (b) click Start, click Run, type MSIEXEC/REGSERVER, and then click OK. Even if you do it right, it may seem that nothing happens, or you can briefly see an hourglass. After you run this command, the operation is complete.

  Method 2: Run check file system (CFS) analyses and checks to see if it helps.

  File system (CFS) Checker

  Note: System File Checker allows an administrator to analyze the files all protected to check their versions. If the System File Checker detects that a protected file has been replaced, it retrieves the correct version of the file in the folder cache (% Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files and then replaces the incorrect file. System File Checker verifies and repopulates the cache folder also. You must be logged in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run the System File Checker. If the cache folder is damaged or unusable, you can use the sfc/scannow, sfc /scanonce or commands sfc /scanboot to repair its contents.

  Method 3: Rebuild the windows service install and check if it helps.

  Note: To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• 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.

• I have a compac using XP. I get "your windows installer is installed correctly" when I try to unimstall a program. That's happened? How can I get the installer working properly?

  I can't get the uninstall program to work properly in 'install/remove '.  I am told "windows install is installed incorrectly or it is in safe mode.  Another problem is that I can not transfer files on a CD.  I don't know if these issues are related.  I don't know enough to find the offending element.  Someone at - it response - I can fix it myself, or something I can download from Microsoft?
  Thank you.

  That is what the message really says or does mean something like these examples:

  When you try to install a program or by clicking on the button 'Edit' or 'Delete' in Add / Remove programs on an application already installed, you see a message like this:

  Windows Installer may be damaged or your computer is in safe mode

  or maybe this message:

  The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
  This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support team.

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  services.msc

  Click OK to open the Services applet.

  Look in the Services applet to see if the Windows Installer Service is still listed and you will find that it is probably not listed (but it should be).

  If the Windows Installer Service is listed, make sure it is not disabled and if it is disabled, change the startup type to manual.  You can't set it to automatic as it will start on its own when he needs start and you don't need it starts every time that you restart your system and execution of all the day when there is nothing to do.  The Service will start when they need start if she is able to start.  Enough-click OK to save your changes and close the Services applet, reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick' and see how things look now.

  If the Windows Installer Service is lack of Services, you must add it as follows:

  Click Start, run, and in the box enter these commands one at a time by clicking on the OK button for each:

  msiexec /Unregister (or you can type: msiexec /unreg)
  msiexec/regserver

  Click OK after each command (there is no message about what happened)

  Check in the Services applet again to see if the Windows Installer Service is now listed, and the startup type is set to manual, reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick' and see how things look now.

• When you try to install anything I get an error: 'could access the Windows Installer service '.

• Boot Camp Windows Installation 10 - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It's the GPT partition style.

  Hello

  I tried to dual boot Windows 10 alongside OS X El Capitan on my iMac 21.5 inch i5 end 2013. I have followed all the instructions in the Boot Camp assistant, restart, choose the yellow 'Windows' drive to boot from, but when I get to the Windows installation, enter the product key and language, and then select the partition (0-4, the partition Disk Partition) it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

  So I found this answer: How do I install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

  But then I received the same error.

  Tried this: http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362

  But fdisk TPG allow me to change anything, as the SIP is enabled.

  Tried to disable SIP via a command line in a terminal in recovery mode, but got an error-bash: command not found csrutil.

  So now I'm stuck on all fronts. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

  2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

  3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

  4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

  5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

  diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

  This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

  6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

  7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

  8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

  9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.
