Windows Installer 3.1

[theshaman]

i think there is something wrong with my windows installer because when i try to add/remove a program, a window comes up and says the windows installer service could not be accessed . it can occur if you are running windows in safe mode,or if the windows installer is not correctly installed.



thank you to anyone that can help me

Simple solution :Re-register registration service.

Start/Run/type CMD.EXE/OK

Type msiexec /unregister and press Enter.

Type msiexec /regserver and press Enter.


More complex soulution : Reinstall the Windows Installer

Rename damaged files,and download latest Windows installer (3.1)
