I've been looking around forums for months now, trying to get rid of the Windows Update error code 80070424. I've read countless messages talking about solutions and tried them all. UNTIL I noticed today that the Windows Module Installer isn't listed in my services! I remember that annoying TrustedInstaller.exe running on my comp since I installed Vista, but it's gone, didn't noticed till today.
I'm not really a windows novice, but I just don't get it... how can it be just gone like that? I repeat, it is not diabled or wahtsoever, IT IS MISSING FROM THE SERVICE LIST. is there a way to reinstall the Windows Module Insdtaller, aka TrustedInstaller.exe? Because im pretty sure it's messing with my updates
I do not have Windows Installer at all. I get the following message:
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact Support Personell.
I have con into Microsoft support and tried to download a Stand Alone Installer-didn't work because I don't have Windows Installer. Tried to download Windows Installer Redistributables for Windows 4.0 I have done a search for Windows Installer on my entire computer It is not listed at all in the System Configuration Utility I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit Service Pack 2
I would like to just start all over and take of my programs and re-load but I don't have a hard copy disk for Vista Home Premium. It was installed when I purchased the computer. I don't know how to go into the sytem boot areas so haven't touched that. I have been in the registry just didn't do anything as was unsure of what to fix to allow access on the right side.
Since I ran a software called "Registry Clean expert v4.56" I can no longer install oruninstall any application on mt VISTA Ultimate machine.I tried everything that was explained in the Microsoft forums, such as:- running MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER followed with MSIEXEC /REGSERVERWhen I run services.msc I notice that the Windows Installer service is set to MANUAL.I tried to setup to AUTOMATIC, rebooted the machine, but the problem is still there.
So you guys know that Antivirus Suite? Well a couple of days ago I was like JESUS! How do I get it out of my computer? But then I got it resolved by the help of Malware Bytes. BUTTT, the next day, my older sibling thought it wasn't "trustworthy" so he decided to delete it. Now, the computer before it starts says it checks the __ drive ( I forgot) and then all my applications just stopped working. Like AIM malfunctioned, Itunes malfunctioned, the sound on my browser stopped working ( oh, Itunes notified saying that the audio configuration didn't work so yeah...), my browser thank god still works, and everything else.. Well it's infected with errors and blah blah blah.
-I checked out the Windows Service Installer and tried to repair it, but it failed. -I can't download anything on certain browsers, but for all browsers, I can't save things like pictures. -Yes, I tried F8? or F9 I forgot Dx to try to do a startup repair, but that failed. And I tried system restore, but for some reason it all got deleted, and I hope I don't have to F11 and restore it to it's factory settings haha... -ANDDDD, I'm not breaking a limb for no Geeksquad haha, it's DTM (doing too much)!Lastly, I blame my sibling... >:0
I have been trying to uninstall some programs, and install others, but I keep getting a message saying - Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed - I can't install the windows installer because my Windows Installer is not correctly installed..
whenever i download an .exe program or .msi installer vista shows: iTunes installer for example, but occurs with all downloaded files. However programs i already had on my hdd install fine. I have not yet had time to test a 64 bit native app to see if it installs fine, but all the programs i try and fail to run once downloaded are on the compatibility list.
Also my Windows Search service does not start. When I try to start it, I get these errors in the event log:
1. "The Windows Search Service cannot open the Jet property store.
The content index server cannot update or access information because of a database error. Stop and restart the search service. If the problem persists, reset and recrawl the content index. In some cases it may be necessary to delete and recreate the content index. (0x8004117f)"
2. "The Windows Search Service has failed to created the new system catalog. Internal error <4,0x8004117f>."
I'm totally lost as how to solve this problem. I spent hours on the web trying to find a solution, with no luck sofar. Anyone here who has a clue how to solve this one?
I am using Windows Vista Business. I recently bought and successfully downloaded Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, however, the installation is always stopped by the error code 1719: "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support personnel for assistance." In addition, I can't UN-INSTALL anything either.
I read the instructions for this and was OK up to where and how to install the log file taken from a working vista OS. There is no option to paste the content into the registry. i have tried right clicking and ctr v I am aware that I am missing something obvious but this thing has been niggling me for days as I have to install new software for my job.
I removed an old copy of Word (XP Professional) in preparation for theinstallation of Office Home. Now, whenever I do almost anything,the windows installer keeps popping up, looking for the XP Pro disk (andPRO.MSI in particular.)
I can no longer locate that old XP disk, and now I cannot install the newversion! I tried removing some references to Office 10 in the registry,but that didn't help. How can I remove the constant "nagging" and install the new software?
In trying to install Java 6 u18 I started getting the message. THIS ACTION ONLY VALID FOR PRODUCTS CURRENTLY INSTALLED At that point Java, which had always worked, stopped working. After reading this forum I downloaded the Windows Install Cleanup and removed the Java 6 u18 from the list of installed products.
Java does not appear in the Control Panel under Programs, the registry has no Java 6.18 remnants I can see and Java does not appear in the Windows Install Cleanup list. Yet when I re-download Java, as soon as the install starts it says
I m trying to install AVG, and I was receiving installer issues. I approached other Tech sites and was told to use a program, basically now I cannot install any program, and I receive the error concerning windows installer... "The Windows Installer could not be accessed" I attempted re-install the installer on the Microsoft website, but it gave me the "Not enough memory to process this action"
I've spent countless hours troubleshooting and yeah... I'm just tired of it. Preferably I'd restore to a previous system restore point, but I get the memory error with that... so yeah, no luck with anything.
I have a new HP computer and recently every time I boot up the computer, a windows installer window pops-up and tried to install a program (it doesn't state the program name) but stops at the stage when it searches for an installation CD, as I don't have the computer's installation CD (the computer comes with no installation CD and all installation info is backed-up in the secured drive D). How do I get rid of this pop-up ? I have tried using windows installer cleanup utility but as I don't know which program windows installer is trying to install, I don't know which one to delete from the list of programs displayed in the cleanup utility. What would happen if I remove all programs from the windows installer cleanup utility list ?
I am trying to install TaxCut and the install fails just after the program starts Windows install. HR Block is no help. I want to reinstall windows installer and try again but I cant figure out how.
I Hope someone can assist me with a problem that is driving me to distraction. My PC runs Vista Home Premium and has not caused me many problems since I sorted out the installation issues. However since I installed Roxio Creator 2009 a month or so ago I have had lots of problems. I am now troubled by a Windows Installer problem. When I start up I get a series of messages flagging up starting with "preparing to install" followed by "please wait whilst windows configures the destination" then by "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternative path to a path containing the installation package'status m s i' in the box below" the box below contains a file name as follows "c:user ALANSM~1AppDatalocal emp7zs9ED" This series of messages keeps repeating for 5 or more times every time I cancel it. I thought it may have been caused by Roxio so I tried to uninstall. Roxio would not uninstall however. The wizard starts but then I get a message saying "setup encountered an error during installation 'Error Code 04C7" then the wizard shuts down leaving Roxio intact.
I have transfered my programs using the transfer companion beta. I had to change the language and locale to US English for that to work. But now lots of programs fail to open as Windows Installer throws a messge windows installer coudl not be accessed. I intsalled the windows iinstaller clean up utility and now i have this message when i try to open a program... Cant find script engine 'VBS Script' for script c:userspeterAppDatalocal empIXP000.tmpstartMsi.vbs
I am trying to download the windows installer 3.1 but it keeps saying unable to download because not enough storage or something. Now I tried these steps below suggested by another site but it didn't work for me
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services LanmanServer Parameters IRPStackSize DWORD (15)
This above has not worked for me. I have a 64bit vista under parameters they have dword which is for 32bit and qword for 64bit I chose qword but i was not able to type in IRPStactSize so I'm stuck. I just bought a pc to tv software and the requirements to watch it is that I have to have the latest media player 11 which I already have and the latest real player which I already have and .NET framework 2.0 which I already have and you have to have windows installer 3.1 which I do not have. This is the only thing preventing me from watching my pc to tv software. So can somebody help me download this windows installer 3.1 onto my 64bit machine.
Could you pls check if your Vista has Windows Installer installed? two places in registry to look for it, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftActive SetupInstalled Components use regedit to access registry info (be careful not change anything!).
a) I don't have a vista os box myself; b) I'd like to see if most of the vista boxes out there has windows installer installed already and if yes, which version has the most installed base.
Windows Installer doesn't work. Whenever I open setup.exe of any game it says Configuring Windows Installer.. Preparing to install.."POOF"!! and there it goes !!Any solution for this? I tried system restore. I also tried the Windows Installer update thing. It says Not enough space to preform this command. I have 60GB free space in my C:/ drive. Games I tried:Outrun 2 Coast 2 Coast Call of Duty 2.
i can not get programs to install when they have been downloaded on the Internet. They progress as far as the 'Windows Installer" and then it just sits there and stalls out. I am trying to download and install both Itunes and Acrobat 8.0 Professional. I have not been able to find any solutions on the Internet
When trying to access my bank accounts via Quicken 2007 I receive the messages "the windows installer service could not be accessed......... Windows installer is not correctly installed." Any ideas what the problem is and how to resolve the issue? I am new to my 64 bit Vista system. I have no problems with other programs that I have loaded since getting this new POC.
I can not install programs of any kind as the windows installer window comes up but then stalls. How do I find out the version of the windows installer on vista & should I reinstall it?
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Quicktime was working perfectly until yesterday when I tried to install the newest version of iTunes but the installation failed (I received "Cannot Open Key:"error) When the iTunes installation failed, it took Quicktime with it. I navigated to the key in question and found 3 iterations of it. I set the permissions to full and tried again but every time as the program installation neared completion, I would see an icon for Data Execution Prevention appear in my system tray. I have tried to set the Quicktime installer to be ignored by DEP but no luck. I also get the "Windows Installer Stopped Working" Box some of the time and when I click on more details it seems to point to MSIEXEC.EXE. I have visited Apple's forums, COMPLETELY uninstalled Quicktime, iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Software Update and Apple Applicaton Support several times per their instructions in these articles I would like to have both Quicktime and iTunes on my PC but if that is not possible, I need to get Quicktime back by itself as a program I use often (Starry Night Pro 6) and paid $150.00 for won't run without Quicktime 7.0 + (I was able to install Quicktime 6.5 successfully but Starry Night won't run with it). Please help as I have already spent about 10 hours working on this! I am unable to use System Restore to roll back to before I tried to install iTunes-there are about 20 restore points but they are all after I tried to install iTunes.
I downloaded a dll (Ssubtmr6.dll), placed the file in the C:WindowsSystem32 folder and then using the Run dialog, entered the command Regsvr32 "C:WindowsSystem32Ssubtmr6.dll" to register it. I get an error message stating the module failed to load and including the text "Module could not be found". I had no problem installing this on an XP machine. I'm running Vista Home Premium (64 bit) with Service Pack 1.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on my laptop. For last few days I have not been able to install windows updates. I get the error with code 80070641. After wandering through different forums and suggested solutions, I followed this path - control panel > system and maintenance > administrative tools > services > windows installer (double clicked and saw that the start-up type is 'Automatic'). When I clicked on the 'Start the service' button in the left panel here, I got the following message:
Windows could not start the windows installer service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Can anybody help me resolve this problem and bring the Windows Installer back on track?.....
I'm out of options. I just bought a new iPhone. Synced it with the upgraded version of iTunes on my work computer. Then tried to sync on my computer, but was unable to. Apparently, I need to upgrade iTunes to 8.2. So, when I try to do that it won't install. So I downloaded the Windows Installer 4.5. Now it tells me that I do not have enough memory to complete this process.
I've read many of threads and googled it. I even went in and changed the IRPStackSize. Every time I did that, instead of changing to a decimal number it would revert back to the default. BTW, I have Vista 64-bit.
I would like to upgrade my Random Access Memory (RAM). I am thinking to put 2GB RAM cards into my machine. I have a small problem though. I don't know what type of memory my I should put into my machine. I own a Alienware Area 51 7500.
