MSI Installer "could Not Open Key: UNKNOWNcomponent..."
Feb 2, 2011
i'm migrating a 32 bit software environment to 64 bit, and have not grown any more fond of bill OR steve than i used to be. the combo of the two is the pits - MSI-installers for quicktime / iTunes.anyway - here's the current thing i'm trying to resolve: while installing yet another app, i the installer throws an error message: "could not open key: UNKNOWNcomponentxxxxxxxxxxxxxx214835 now - this is a new feature in 7, never saw it in XP. ok, so the registry key has permissions that are not allowing access for the installer to alter it. i ran into this a few times already and was able to resolve by taking ownership / altering the permissions.

I have installed Win 7 x64. I suspect I have inadvertently deleted part of the Win Installer 5.0. It is not available as a separate download (only 4.5). I have been stuffing around for several days and have tried many, many things all to no avail. So, the installer could be in quite an indeterminate state.Every time I try to install software (say Office or even the OS) the installation simply fails with setup has encountered n error after a few seconds.I have backups from a month ago, but am unsure whether these had the problem.Is there some way I can reinstall the Win 7 Win Installer 5.0.Also in the services there was a Windows installer service, now there is an Instalator Windows service.

after upgrading to internet explorer 9, i realized that ie9 doesn't work with most of the things i do in the browser!! facebook locks up, Internet doesn't like it, and most of all, i can't do my online classes because internet explorer 9 is not supported by webassign or csi blackboard. webassign and blackboard do not work in firefox, either.i thought, uninstall ie9 and put internet explorer 8 back on. after being to over 20 different websites, i cannot find an installer for ie8 for windows 7 x64 anywhere. i did try the installers for both windows xp x64 and windows vista x64, but both of them said the installer was incompatable with my version of windows.
i contacted microsoft and they told me to go to programs and features, windows features, and check internet explorer 8. but after i uninstalled ie9, only the internet explorer 9 feature was listed, not 8.so i called support back, and this time they didn't tell me to do that. instead, the support rep, as stupid as he was, told me that internet explorer 8 is not compatable with windows 7. i told him, my computer came with ie8 pre-installed. windows updates is what broke it!so basically, tl;dr, i need an installer for ie8 for windows 7 x64.

I am trying to install a program on my windows 7 home premium, and after using the installer, nothing happens for a long time. This has happened before, and sometimes the installer starts after a few minutes, but sometimes it takes over an hour, and often i have to just shut it down, because i can't wait for it. Does anyone know about this problem, and a solution for it? In the Joblist, under processes, it is called SETUP.EXE*32, and looks inactive.

I was browsing through my program files while working on getting Unreal Tournament to host multiplayer when I came across a folder called "DVD Maker."
I've never installed anything like it.I went to control panel, uninstall programs, and I did not find it.I tried to delete it and it says that I do not have permission to delete the folder, only "TrustedInstaller" does. I tried to give myself permissions, (I am on my administrator account) and it fails.

My copy of windows 7 came with IE9 and the installers offered for download on the site all tell me that it's incompatible. Is there a 64 bit Windows 7 download of IE8 somewhere (preferably hosted by microsoft) I could use?

I was having a problem earlier with tons of BSOD's, but after getting some help here I was able to solve the problem. But lo and behold I try to install something and get this new problem. I tried going into cmd and unregistering windows installer and then re-registering it but that didnt work. Someone suggesting going into regedit and going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCURRENT CONTROL SETSERVICESMSIserverWOW64 then right click on WOW64, then select Modify Set Value Data to 0 (mine was set at 1) and Base should be Hexadecimal. However, I can't even do this because when I go to MSIserver there is no WOW64 folder so I don't even know what to change.
System restore doesn't work earlier. I really want to avoid a complete reinstall. I was able to avoid it with my BSODs but now with this new issue I cannot install anything on my computer.

I built this computer Dec 11, and have had consistant installer issues from day one. Installing or removing programs hangs/takes forever or doesn't work at all. I don't get any error messages. It just hangs forever. Sometimes, if I go to bed on it, it will be complete in the morning. On the first Windows OS install, once I got the install probs, I just did another clean install. It didn't change a thing.Sometimes, thru the past, I've just ignored the errors, and simply tried to get along without some of the programs I've wanted to install. But now, Windows Updates aren't installing either, and the persistant messages and restart prompts are driving me crazy.Where in the heck do I start? I've run Microsoft's fixit for install errors.

After several automatic update by windows my system time has been changed (easy to change back but why did it happen) the windows installer cannot be accessed. I ran elevated sfc/sannow some repairs were made but not to installer. Would a start up repair work.

I am getting an error when I am attempting to install the C++ Redistributable Package that says:
"Windows Installer Service cannot be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
I have attempted to look up what this means, however all of the guides I find are for Windows 2000 or Server 2003! I have also had the same error message pop up when I try to manually install updates with Windows Updater.
Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit version
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66 Ghz
4 GB DDR3-1333
GeForce GT220
Western Digital Caviar Blue HHD 320GB 7200 RPM
ASUS P5P43TD Motherboard
I built this machine myself but I have very little knowledge about Operating Systems

I am trying to install Windows 7 onto a secondary internal hard drive. Am hoping to have a dual boot windows 7 RC/XP.
I am mounting the image off of my primary hard drive using Virtual CloneDrive in XP home.
When I get to the screen that allows me to choose where to install Windows 7, it only shows drive 0, my C: Drive.
Drive 1, the D: Drive has been wiped and formatted. It has a volume name. BIOS is up to date.
If I click load driver on this screen, the D: Drive shows in the directory tree. The drive also works fine in XP.

I have an ASROCK 890gx pro3 MB and GSkill Phoenix Pro 120 gb ssd. The BIOS screen shows the ssd. I have already installed a copy of Windows 7 to my samsung 2 tb HDD but also wanted it to be on the SSD as the primary boot option.I disconnected my HDD, changed the BIOS boot set up to AHCI and Windows installer would not show the ssd. Changed the boot set up to IDE and still no luck

My son (I have got him to join up) has a custom self made build he does a bit of gaming on and had this annoying error pop up on boot # -5 and it went into a larger screen etc on. We managed to disable it in misconfig now as it wasn't an OS app does it matter that it doesn't run because all I could find was it just checked for software updates and as most of our favourites do this anyway - is it worth getting it back on again.?

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Home Premium. I cannot install Openoffice.org, I have the message": "You need Windows Installer". This is ridiculous, since I install other software to reverse without any problems.
