  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true

  Step 2:

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  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.

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

  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.

• Windows Installer service could not be accessed. Windows Installer is not installed properly.

  I seem to have many problems. I have problems with the installation of an update of Windows because I get an error code 80070641.

  I am also unable to update Adobe Reader. I get a message to repair Adobe Reader software. When I do that, I get a message from 1500 failed.

  I'm unable to install iTunes or upgrades of Java because of this problem of installation of Windows.

  Please help me! I spent the days and hours searching for solutions and none of them do not seem to work.

  Something that I see it is that I'm running Vista 64 bit and my system maintenance says 32-bit. I have Vista Home Premium.

  The following might be able to help:

  1. start > Search box > type services > press the Enter key > uac prompt > scroll to Windows Installer > under Startup Type, it should be MANUAL.
  If not, right click on Windows Installer > properties > under Startup type, change it to manual > OK

  It's working now?

• Windows Update fails in Windows 8, Windows 8 running on VM VirtualBox

  Original title: Windows Update failed in Windows 8

  Windows 8 Pro is installed on it; no antivirus, no 3rd party service.  I got the download of Windows 8 students of the MS upgrade because the license I had was for XP OEM.  Their online store said I couldn't go directly to 8.1.  In order to get the cleanest system, that I could get, I reinstalled XP Pro from scratch.  The MS store forces installation of the upgrade of Windows 8 to help them ensure the Download Manager.  Yes, steps up to now:

  (1) install XP OEM

  (2) install all the XP updates

  (3) download and install the upgrade to win 8 using the secure download manager

  (4) apply Windows 8 updates so I can finally get to the 8.1

  It may also be important to note that this facility is running in a VirtualBox VM.  I bought XP OEM disc when I got the laptop (Lenovo T520), but have always run Ubuntu Linux on the host computer.  So my reading on the Windows license is that I have no problem there.  The steps above take the largest part of a full day; so I'm a bit reluctant to reinstall again from scratch.

  Finally, the Windows process update Gets an update to KB2785094 which fails.  I got a few different errors and passed through all stages troubleshooting recommended in the KB and this forum that I could find.  Errors include 80073712 and 8024afff.

  Troubleshooting steps tried:

  (1) run the file system, by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957310 Checker

  (2) attempt to relaunch Windows Update

  (3) run DISM, by the same thing.

  (4) attempt to relaunch Windows Update

  (5) run the Windows Update troubleshooting tool, by http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

  (6) attempt to relaunch Windows Update

  (7) to run this Windows Update utility online by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2714434/en-us

  (8) attempt to relaunch Windows Update

  9) restart in mode "clean boot", by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

  It wasn't anything to turn off except the app tray Virtualbox Guest Additions, since it is essentially a new installation

  (10) attempt to relaunch Windows Update

  (11) see the same mistakes over and over again.  8024afff seems to have disappeared, but 80073712 keeps recurring.

  A problem I noticed with the application of the DISM is that article that says: "If your Windows Update client is already broken, use a Windows installation running as the source of the repair, or use a file side-by-side Windows from a network share or removable media, such as the Windows DVD, such as source files. To do this, run the following command instead:

  "DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth/source: C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess.

  Unfortunately, due to the screwy way, Microsoft provides the installation files during the upgrade as I did, I'm not aware of having any source of repair.  If anyone knows where the secure download manager puts installation files that could serve as a source for execution of DISM?  Other other ideas that made the exact same installation and expect a different result (one definition of insanity)?

  Thank you

• Windows Installer keeps trying to install an update for Paint Shop Photo Album, which is no longer available. Slow computer at startup.

  Original title: update

  Windows Installer keeps trying to install an update for Paint Shop Photo Album, which is no longer available. How he remove without disabling the windows installer? I installed v4.5 installer that allows enabling or disabling updates. Paint Shop appears but the box is not checked, so the installer must ignore, right?

  Using msconfig, I can find nothing in startup or services that will completely eliminate the problem, Evin with instaler disabled, Setup window will start to blink during boot computer has been scanned and cleaned with Security Essentials, SuperAntiSpy and Spybot. \

  There is a key in registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\ referring to it.

  What is no longer available - Paint Shop Photo Album or the update?

  If you have uninstalled Paint Shop Photo Album, you might see if running free Revo Uninstaller is able to get rid of leftovers that could cause problems.

• 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.

  I would avoid reinstalling Windows if possible.

• 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.
