Windows Installer - Resource Unavailable Error?
Aug 27, 2011
I just tried to watch a movie on Netflix, and it prompted me to upgrade Microsoft Silverlight. I saved the file to my desktop, and when I tried to open the .exe file, I got this error message from Windows Installer: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
I tried moving the downloaded file to a different location, but it had no effect. I apparently can't play any movie now from Netflix, since I have to update Silverlight before I can play anything.

whenever i try to uninstall open office windows installer givs me the error message:"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"i also get this message wen i try to install program that install via windows installer, but programs that use install shiled wizard uninstall fine.any idea on what might be causing this? i beleve that i must have used windows installer to (un)install programs before but now it wont work something else that may be usefull to know is that my HDD is stuck in read only, and i cannot change the ownership or permissions, so cant take it off read only without the system re applying read only immediately after.

I set up a Homegroup with my old PC so I could pull over my music and movies. I am able to see and copy my videos over, but the music folder keeps giving me the "refers to a location that is unavailable" error.

I've been unable to diagnose an error I've been receiving when I try to open programs (Error 170 "The Requested Resource is in Use"). I've googled the problem and although it appears to be a fairly common error, almost every site I've been to seems to think that I have some kind of removable storage hooked up, which I don't. This is happening whenever I try to open a program whether it be Advanced SystemCare or System Restore. Further more, I'm unable to manage several tasks in Windows, such as creating user accounts. My anti-virus has come up clean, so I'm at a loss.

Just combined 2 partitions today, copied back all my program back to my pc that were on my J drive (second partition) to my now 1 partition (c) but when I try to run them I get an error:
"The program (program name).ink is in a unavailable network drive or unavailable."
Also if I try uninstalling, repairing, or re- installing I get the error:
"Error 1327. Invalid Drive: J:"

So after the change of the WEP encryption key, there is another issue that emerged out of nowhere again. This time it's the DNS server error, and other windows in our house can connect except for me. I can enter the security key this time however the wireless icon indicates a exclamation mark icon overlapping it. I tried using cmd and typed ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew with a reboot afterwards, changed the Internet Protocol Version 4 and 6 on their DNS server address settings, resetting the router and configuring the network adapter but it doesn't work.
Although, the windows 7 can sense the internet and connect it but the result came up "DNS server error" and "DNS cannot communicate with the resource error". I currently don't hold the real password for the router, however I managed to retrieved the old WEP password for the router. My cousin has the password, whenever he types the password now which I don't know at this stage doesn't work (Security Key Mismatch) and when I secretly tried the old password, it worked but with an exclamation mark on the wireless icon.

I'm trying to get Network Discovery to stay on, but it always reverts to off. In trying to activate the UPnP service for this but get the error message 1079..the account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process. This may be what's preventing Network Discover from being activated.

Recently whenever I've used an .exe installer I'll get an error as soon as I click start after choosing the directory, in the picture example I include below, it's of SA-MP, but it happens with any installer I try and use. Installers have worked previously, it's only recently it's stopped working.The error is;Error opening files for writing?
What I've tried;
-Full system scan with Comodo AV.
-Revealed hidden files and folders.
-Run the installer in both compatability (Even though it does work on Windows 7, and as an Administrator).
-Also done the scan on CMD (can't remember exact command).
Brief Info:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

So anyway i deleted the language pack manually but when i opened rosetta stone, it opened up windows installer and it said "configuring rosetta stone" or something like that. and after that it said "the installer has encountered an unexpected error......"

I've been trying to install pinnacle's "Dazzle" usb video capture device driver (model DVC100), but keep getting this: Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance. I've been on so many forums and even with the pinnacle support crew, which was pretty useless. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook (64 bit OS) I've tried several things but to no avail. Has anyone had problems with their Windows Installer? Not sure if it's specific to this device, but more problems with a corrupt Windows Installer maybe?

I've had my Lenovo U350 for a about a year and a half. Towards the very beginning I've had this issue on and off, but never really noticed it. Today I tried to install steam.exe, but I keep getting an error 1719.
I went to services.msc and realized that I don't actually have a 'Windows Installer'. I know Windows Redistribute 4.5 does not work for Windows 7, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to solve this problem?
It is strange because I can install some things but not others. For example, I can install Digsby.
[Here is services.msc without Windows Installer present] [Here is the error after I run steam.exe]
Edit: I noticed some sites said that the lack of Windows Installer meant that my Windows 7 is not legal/counterfeit. However, I purchased the laptop from Lenovo with a complimentary copy of Windows 7, and I have already verified authenticity, so that isn't the problem.

The audio services worked fine at first. But after optimizing the system for gaming and security, the "Windows Audio Endpoint Builder" service fails to start. It gives the error: "Error 1722: The RPC server is unavailable" This is required for the "Windows Audio" service, so I have no sound now. Does anyone know the cause of this error? Here are the services that I am running...
Application Experience: Manual
Application Information: Manual
DCOM Server Process Launcher: Automatic*
Group Policy Client: Automatic*
Human Interface Device Access: Manual
[code]....
Should I be running any additional services? I skipped Vista and am still using XP.

I had meant to say that all of a sudden I can't use windows installer service I get error code 8007641 or error code 641. I'm unsure why I'm not able to use windows installer anymore and I'm not able to get valuable updates from windows without it.

I have been going around and around with my wife's computer.
Specs: MSI X58 mobo, Intel Core i7, 16g ram, gForce 9500 video with dual DVI out, 740g drive, Win 7 Pro 64b.
I built this machine and it has been running great for months and last week it started to freak out. My wife was having issues with Word crashing; started just after the updates from last week (smells funny). I figured, well, I can't see any problems, more than likely a bad update, MS will fix this week.Well, no. It's gotten worse. I started getting the 1719 error, and have searched the web high and low for anything to fix it. I followed instructions that don't work (or don't work anymore). I can't reinstall windows, because the disc is now so old, vs the updated service packed version on the machine.I tried a fix from MS to fix installer issues, but it died on the vine - can't find the server, try again later.The guts of the problem? I have a number of stuck windows updates just dying to be done, but they won't install. One does, but it's back upon reboot.
As soon as I log in Acrobat 8 Standard tries to update; but I get the 1719 error and the update ends. Same with office. It has apparently tried to install SP3, but with zero success.I can run it from the run line in the start box but when I click on Word, it wants to finish SP3, but blows when it can't find it.

I messed up whilst installing windows 7 over older windows 7 drive. I formatted the windows 7 drive and again tried to deleted that partition, but that deletion process took around 10-15 minutes, so restarted my system. Now i cannot install any of the windows os or even linux.

My laptop has been experiencing the disk read error on startup. I called Sony (I have a Sony VAIO Laptop VPCF130FD) and they put me through all these steps including trying to boot up the recovery partition of the drive. Through the steps taken, they think that the OS is corrupt as the computer had been freezing before.The only step that has taken effect is the reset default values of the BIOS. When the recovery partition is selected it hangs between the "Starting Windows" screen and the first recovery screen.Sony wanted me to pay $60 for discs to be sent to my house, but I am building a gaming desktop PC so I thought I would just buy the OEM System Builder Win 7 Home Prem x64 and use that disc to install as I have the product key my laptop uses.So I bought the disc today and booted my laptop off of it but like the recovery partition, it sits between the Start Windows screen and the first install screen.
