• Windows Installer is corrupt on my Vista computer

  Title of the Moose: Windows Installer is corrupt or deleted on my computer. I tried to re-installing/repair Vista SP2 and Windows Installer 4.5 - or will be installed.

  Hi Please help... I can't install anything on my "puta.  I can't run a recovery as all my records are stored.  I spent two hours of Microsoft technical support who could not stop talking.  There must be a way I can either crazy, the system to uninstall and reinstall SP2.  Because it's the installer that is affected, nothing else can install or uninstall.

  I tried to go into computer and manage and Services but by clicking 'Start' on Windows install would not work because it has lost the thread.

  Very grateful for any help that I can not get my work without the program I want to install!

  Cheers, Sara

  Hello Sara Star,.

  I suggest that you try to run a SFC/scannow to address all of the 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.

  However, if there are corrupted files, found, most of the time you're going to need your installation CD to repair the files.

  If this does not help, you must do an upgrade and repair the installation. If your installation CD is not available, see if you can borrow a Vista CD from a friend to fix it.

  Please reply back and let us know if this can help.

  try to load adobe cs5 download or contribute 4 disc, were in line with adobe for hours & they say contact microsoft

• ProBook G1 430: Encrypted hard drive and the corrupt Windows Installation

  My laptop has an encrypted disc using HP drive encryption.  Recently, the Windows installation has become corrupted and I could not repair the installation using floppy disks to install Windows because they cannot access the encrypted drive, nor can they be accessed by other facilities of Windows if I plug in the external drive.  The two methods see the Windows partition as a RAW format.  I guess it's only because the partition is encrypted and has no way to determine the actual format type.

  I searched around to find clues as to how I could get past the encryption, but without success.  The computer is no longer under warranty, so I'm looking for options that will allow me to have access to the data.  The methods I've read all required the computer under warranty.

  I can still go through the encryption after the computer starts, but Windows Setup gives an error and tells me that I must use an installation disk to fix.  I have attached a picture of the screen of the error.

  I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide to solve this problem.

  After much patience and time on the phone with HP, I finally able to return the encrypted Windows installation.  They gave me a copy of the WinPE environment was a software that allows you to decrypt a partition which was encrypted with their software and execute commands Windows on it.  I then ran the repair bootbcd order and I was able to get Windows to start.  To obtain this software, my case should be escalated to tier 2 support.

• corrupted Windows Installer

  I tried services.msc, but had no choice to restart what will I do

  I have no idea where engaged Microsoft Support Engineer 'expert' is happening with these ideas and links - they don't make sense to me, but I'm not a committed Microsoft 'expert '.

  Also, you don't have symptoms consistent with a need to run the System File Checker.  When they suggest that interprets it as meaning "I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it.

  You must help us to understand what you mean by:

  corrupt windows installer

  And what it means:

  I tried services.msc, but had no choice to restart what will I do

  If you see an error message, what does exactly and when you see, and as usual we know nothing on your system, as well as conduit to guess.

  Here is a fairly popular example of an error message Windows Installer can be what you see:

  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.

  First do the following:

  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 (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 completely absent from the 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.

• 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.

• Windows Installer Cleanup Utility cannot run because corrupt Microsoft installation Service

  I can't get the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility to run, I get an error message "the Microsoft Installer could not access the Service."  I tried re-registration of the service nothing is done.  I work on a customer's computer and can not get KB2467173 or Windows Live Essentials update, so I am unable to run internet explore in the standard 32-bit functionality.

• 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

  RedPanda

  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.
