I'd like help please. When I try to install windows installer 3.1, it fails about half way through. I get an error msg saying "access denied", and it aborts completely.I'm not sure that matters for windows installer itself, but until I successfully install that, I dont' think I'm getting access to any other windows updates I DO need.

I'm having the access is denied problem.I've tried many times fixing it manually through regedit and such, but it still doesn't work.but my Windows Installer is also broken so I can't install subinacl. I can however install setacl which seems very similar. I'm not good enough with computers to use command line programs without simple instructions laid out for me

Everytime, when I try to update my java, mcacfee, or my HP, I get this message that says cannot access windows updating system, please contact administrator I dont know what this means, or how to fix it. When I go under services, it shows updater there, and running, and the settings are on manual. I also went to microsoft and tried to download the installer 3.1, and that seemed to have went through, but I'm having the same problem. Also when I go to microsoft, and try to do their troubleshooting, It wont let me get some files which I cannot remember to get to. msexic/restart..something like that...

I have recently done a clean Windows XP Install followed by installing Service Pack 1 then 3.Everything was running smoothly and I was able to log into the desktop.However when I tried to check for updates via Windows update, in Internet explorer however it always says the 'Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage'After diagnosing the issue, it found no problems.I can browse any other website but sometimes when I click on an item through doing a google search, it sometimes sends me to a random search engine page!!

Our domain is having problems all of a sudden. Windows Installer for MS Office 2000 is trying to install something but the installer has gets access denied at the share where originally installed from. No changes to the system have been made except leaving on auto-updates on our XP machines. Users can freely access the share, yet Windows Installer gets access denied. What gives? Has there been a recent update to Windows Installer that is causing grief on Server 2003 + XP domains. Have not installed 2003 Server SP1 patch yet even.

I have finally decided that my problems with uninstalling are related to the Windows Installer being corrupt.I reregistered this in Safe Mode but it didn't fix the problem. So I ran SFC but when it asked to insert the CD which I did, I got a message "The CD you have provided is the wrong CD. Please insert the Windows XP Professional Cd-ROM..."I only have the one CD - it came with the computer and is " Windows XP Professional includes Service Pack 2."

I try to install something using windows installer, I get the "preparing to install" screen and then it says that windows installer couldn't be accessed. I'm not running in safe mode, and I didn't do anything to change this. I looked online and it said to go into the registry and check the msiexec file to make sure its in the system folder, and it is. I've tried re installing and even though it says it successfully reinstalled, it still wont work.

"C or file. You may not have appropriate permissions."Also,"The windows installer service could not be accessed"It is a customer's PC running XP Media Center.PC came to me with initial problem of blank desktop. Explorer.exe was NOT running and could not be started from Start > Run in Task Manager. However, it WAS possible to go through Browse and open files and existing programs that way.Managed to fix that by uninstalling various Google products like Desktop, Updater and Toolbar. Somehow, this enabled all programs I tried to run. The customer only had IE 8 on machine. Could open a Web Page in Word which made me suspicious why IE could not establish connection even after resetting etc etc. Found safari and managed to get on Web fine. Removed Google products as mentioned and all seemed fine.As IE still playing up decided to re-install it. All fine except that "checking your computer for malicious software" had red x next to it. Hmm, I thought.IE also keeps sending me on strange redirects (no other browser does) so suspected Malware.

When i try to install a program i had downloaded from the web, i get a box saying: Windows Installer
The Windows Installer device could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. My OS is Windows XP with sp2. I am not running windows in safe mode.

When I turn my computer on there is a long pause/ delay before windows initiates at start up. It lasts about 1 min until Windows finally boots. Immediately after Windows starts up a window pops up titled: Windows Installer - Preparing to install. This started all of the sudden tonight, not really sure why or what caused it but has anyone ever heard of either of these errors? I have ran an updated version of Adaware6, AVG Anti Virus, Ccleaner, CWShredder, Ewido, RegCleaner, Spware Blaster, Spybot. Also, I have been using Avg Free Editon Virus Scan and Windows Firewall and still managed to get 2 viruses today while they were running. Can you recommend a top of the line virus scan and firewall. I have been told that Pc-Cillin is a good virus scan because it has an integrated virus scan and firewall.

I have a computer running XP Home with no service pack. I removed several viruses from the computer. Sasser.E , W32.Korgo.V, Sw32.spybot.KHC. If i try to add or remove software that uses the windows installer if hangs and will not proceed. I get the message 'Install service not responding'. I tried starting the service manualy but i get the message 'error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion'.I tried installing SP2 but when the computer restarted all i got was a blank desktop. I installed the latest version of Windows Installer and it made no difference

Tried to open Control Panel to uninstall and start using Office XP Small Business -- message: "error occurred while windows was working with...CoPM.cpl in System 32." Microsoft tech suport referred me to start/run appwiz, and remove Visual IP InSight -- but that file wasn't on the list of programs. I removed an un-named installer from the top of the list, thinking that was the culprit.Since then, Windows Installer dialog box pops up whenever I open Explorer or any other program. Microsoft tech support referred me to Article 261594 (Modify the Registry). Can now load Ofice 2000 without the installer popping up.

I brought her computer home to use for my school work. Someone signed into the Administrative / Owner name and somehow locked it. We don't have one of those password reset disk that the Windows website says. I have a disk that says "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition System Recovery CD/DVD" I was told if I reinstalled Windows on the computer that it would erase the entire harddrive. There are alot of pictures on the computer, not to mention Microsoft Office, that I don't want to lose. My mom passed away suddenly and while I know her other passwords, this one is different which leads me to believe one of my younger cousins was messing with her computer and did something they didn't mean.Is there anyway possible to reset the password and use the computer without losing all the pictures on it?

I only have a 70GB hard drive and having recently used "treesize" have found that the reason I was always running out of space appears to be down to the 55GB of Windows INstaller Patches that are on the computer. I am sure that most of these are not required but have no idea what they are, what they do, or if they need to be there or not. As their individual sizes range from a few KB to hundreds of MB, I would like to delete as many as ppossible but need advice as to what / how
