• Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit. How to re-install Windows Installer?

  Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit SP2. How can I re - install Windows Installer? None of the 27 sets of update and Installer Cleanup solutions worked, a last resort option could work but it will not install without the Windows Installer Service.

  I tried each FixIt option, says the problem is solved, but isn't.
  I tried install Windows Installer 4.5, but it came back as not relevant to my system (because there is no previous installer to update).
  Tried a number of recommended patches, but they are all geared toward fixing the problems of Windows Update not a lack of Windows Installer.
  MicrosoftFixit50202.msi seems to have corrected Windows Update on my laptop but it won't install on Vista pc because there is no Windows Installer.
  I ran the installation disc the option 'fix' with the original, it finished but has not replaced Installer and nothing was fixed.

  How can I put the installer of Windows on my computer?  If there are files on the original drive that can be put into drive C what are they?
  Someone suggested to uninstall Service Pack 2, and then reinstall, but if I have no installer of Windows that may not work. Others said they reformatted to correct same question, but it did not work.

  These previous solutions have not helped:
  Could not locate the installer of Windows on Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
  Difficulty the installer of windows vista sp2
  code641/MSI
  Failed installation error msg error 80070641 Windows update

  After a month of butting heads with the refusal of Microsoft to actually help except to sell us all a new copy of Vista or Win7 at the normal price I solved the problem myself.

  1. I made a list of all my software purchased, including required registration keys, etc. and site URL for those who I don't have a disk for.
  2. Deleted registry back up on my external hard disk, reloading apparently one makes the backed up registry problems breed more.
  3. Inserted my drive from Dell to factory since 2007 and restarted. Press a key to boot from the CD. Chose "reformat hard drive' first, then when prompted hit"Reinstall"(slightly different wording on your computer).
  4. After you have reinstalled the factory disc 32-bit Vista, I spent hours 7 next installation of SP1, SP2 and hundreds of updates. Note that several times Windows Update said some updates to date has failed, but finally everything installed correctly by repeating the sequence of installation/reboot to update. There have been a few files that reported to turn off computer completely, I've shown... clicked with indicator shutdown (stop), let it do its thing until it turned off the computer and then the computer restarted manually later. After a total of 8 hours and 14 minutes as my Vista has been fully loaded, updated the installer is still intact, everything works very well and did not cost a penny.

  It has been 2 days since the reformatting/reinstall. I reinstalled all my additional software without problem. System Mechanic is back in service without any prejudice to my installation Service. Seems that something is involved with .NET Framework 4 triggered a defense mechanism that caused the installer should be deleted, solved the problem of the .NET Framework from Microsoft, but it can be installed by the installer being removed to protect our computers. The question was not just with Dell computers, it is Dell support is just as incompetent that Microsoft support batch so more Dell owners were here to complain.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  FYI: my mobile Samsung with Win7, the correction was easier because my installation Service has not been removed:

  1. Uninstalled all the software using .net Framework 4 (only 2)
  2. Uninstalled all .net Framework 4 bodies found on my list of programs (Client Profile and Essentials)
  3. A ran my System Mechanic to remove debris aka too much clutter and correct registry problems
  4. Laptop rebooted then ran Windows Update. All the updates installed with 3 requiring the judgment to install. .NET framework reinstalled with updates.
  5. Reinstalled my 2 pieces of software that use .NET Framework.

  It has been 4 days without any problem at all. So, in my case, it's .NET Framework 4 that created and continued the problem, even if the specific audit FixIt kept saying all .NET Frameworks have been installed correctly.

• 'Restore gadgets installed with windows' this selection is gray and cannot be selected. What now?

  original title: Desktop sidebar gadgets

  When you download a new gadget which folder does download while it appears in the selection of additional gadget.  I can't find a record that relates to the sidebar or gadgets on my computer.  Ran a search, and they do not always show upward.  In addition, instructions to restore gadgets installed with the computer: do right click Select sidebar - select Properties - 'Restore gadgets installed with windows' this selection is gray and cannot be selected.  What now?

  Here are the steps to download and install new gadgets. http://freewindowsvistatutorials.com/meetWindowsVista/windowsSidebarAndGadgets/downloadAndInstallSidebarGadgets.htm. There is no particular place to download - usually, I download them to the desktop for installation and then I use C:\Users\personal myself (with a special created Gadgets folder it contains) to store the download for use later, if necessary (assuming that I save it at all). Also, this procedure explains how to remove gadgets using the sidebar, so you don't have to go looking to uninstall files or anything like that.

  As far as the original gadgets go, here's a thread on the same problem with a solution which is marked as an answer (even if the person who has posted never confirmed it worked):http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/thread/1a979f08-a67e-43a6-a87c-3fa02dff9be1.

  If this does not work, perhaps to restore the entire box will solve the problem.  Here's how:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/963010.  It can uninstall everything new gadgets that you added when it resets to zero (and I'm not positive that it will restore the original gadgets if he can fix the button greyed out), but if you accept that, it's worth a try.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows Installer has stopped working and access is denied installation KB942288-V3

  original title: Windows XP SP3 installation problem

  My windows installer has stopped working. I tried several 'fixed' found on the net, but nothing is done and would be grateful if someone could guide me through the solution.   Windows XP, SP3.

  In 'Services', 'Windows Installer' has been designated 'disabled '.   I changed this "manual".

  msiexec /unreg works ok.
  msiexec/regserver gives an error: "an event could not invoke any of the Subscriber.

  I have downlaoded and ran KB942288-V3 and got ' Setup error.   Access is denied. "

  I watched the permissions in the registry and seems to have all the permissions are ok, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

  Thanks for any help

  Hello Kaiser,

  I would say that if you update your PC from SP2 to SP3 all your files will remain same.

  Once you do a new Installation or a custom don't store all your network cards and other device drivers.

• iStore error: Please note that the quote/cart has already placed an order and cannot be changed.

  Hi all

  Please help with error - "Please note that the quote/cart has already placed an order and cannot be changed."

  I am able to search for items in the store but when add to cart we get error "Please take note that the cart/quote has already been placed an order and cannot be changed."

  We do not process returns in our iStore.

  Okay, okay...

  See if you have any folder for that user in the IBE_ACTIVE_QUOTES_ALL table, if so delete it and try again...

  IBE_ACTIVE_QUOTES_ALL is used to store the current active cart of a user.

  The user is identified by party_id cust_account_id reference HZ_PARTIES and the active carriage is identified by the quote_header_id referri

• Windows Installer does not work, and niether do the Windows updates.

  OK, so I recently installed Advanced System Care for a purchase price of 12.28.  After the installation he did in fact speed up my computer but now I cannot make the updates for windows update and I access windows install.  I went through the solutions on "windows setup will not work", and nothing works.  Help, please.

  Alissa.

  Hey alissa,.

  Disable Advanced System Care and see if the update works. If this works, contact the software provider for help on how to make it work with updates.

  Note: run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; don't forget to activate the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after you have identified the problem. Kind regards

• Windows Vista will not start and cannot recover

  I have a desktop PC HP Compaq Presario, which has about 2 years. The problem started when Windows Vista was not able to start. It would load up on the "COMPAQ" screen and then it would just go to a slider black white screen with a flashing white light on the top left. Now that I've seen a lot of discussions with this similar problem, but it seems that people would rather not reformat in order to lose any important data. But in my situation, I have some important data on my computer so reformatting would be fine, except...

  -Recovery system won't work. I insert the 1 system recovery disk, all files loading correctly, it allows me to choose if I want to reset the computer to factory settings, I click Yes and it finishes the reformatting step. But then the problem comes when I insert disc 2, original content relocation step. It fills up to 10-16% and then I get a blue screen of death STOP: 0 x 00008086. I tried SEVERAL times and the same thing happens.

  -The next thing I tried to do is to fix the computer via a copy burned Windows Startup Repair. Loads everything up, I spent the page where I choose my language, currency, etc. The problem comes when I get to the System Recovery Options. There is no listed BONES and a box appears and says "Searching for Windows installations", and then it stalls just on this pop up. This problem is quite recent, because before there is no pop up and there is simply no OS listed, so I still could not repair or restore in any case.

  -Before, when I was able to go into the advanced options on the Startup Repair disk (when he was not of "searching for Windows installations" pop up to stall on), I'd go to the command prompt in attempt to chkdsk/r C:. All bad sectors or groups or something else would be fixed, and then he would hold to step 5 of 5 when checking free space.

  -In addition, I tried to make a diagnosis of memory via the Startup Repair tool. That's what I get:

  File: \boot\memtest.exe

  Status: 0xc000000f

  Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt

  
  

  Furthermore, I cleaned my computer, it is now almost completely free of dust. In addition, I can't get into the BIOS, I can't get into safe mode, and now I can't have in the command line

  Hello

  If you are unable to enter the BIOS and all the other problems, you have hardware problems
  and need the help of a real store of the computer (no leeks and glances at a Best Buy or any other
  Department stores) or Support of HP/Compaq.
