Windows Installer (Vista)

Hello, I have a new HP desktop, Vista Home Premium SP1 x64 and I'm
starting to wish I didn't.

When I try to Update or Install programs I get the following:

"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if
you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not
correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."

When I try to download and install the Installer I get: "The update
does not apply to your system". I'm on x64 but I tried them both anyway.
Same error.
Windows6.0-KB942288-v2-x64.msu
Windows6.0-KB942288-v2-x86.msu
So I tried the Windows Installer Cleanup wizard, msicuu2.
It returns errors: Internal Error 2908 and then Error: 1406 along with
"make sure sufficent access".
I checked Also: "MSIServer" is assigned correct value.
Services shows the Installer as Started in manual.
I tried to unrgerister and re-register from the Command prompt, in Safe
Mode MSIexec /unregister
MSIexec /regserver
I even ran the SFC all without result. I can't get that Installer out
of there. Any Thoughts? Fred.

Re: Windows Installer (Vista)

I have the same error message . I've tried all sorts of things
suggested by technical forums without success. A very kind man at Serif,
who's software I was trying to install has spent an hour on the phone
trying to sort the problem for me. Even installing
Windows6.0-KB942288-v2-x86 the 4.5 version brings up the same message.
In system configuration it says Windows installer is running and in
sevices.msc it says it is started and is set to manual. Any solutions
would be very much appreciated.

RE: Windows Installer (Vista)
Dear Microsoft,

And this is customer no. 3 which has teh same problem. I cannot install ANY
program anymore since the Windows Installer "has not been installed
correctly". When I try to install the latest version of the WIndows
Installer, the program starts to install but quite quickly says that there is
not enough disk space to process this request. And I have 111 Gb of free
space left!!!!

I bought a program, and you are supposed to deliver a working program.
Please solve this asap, as this blocks me in my work!!!!!

Regards,

Marc Steenbergen
