I8PP Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Did you disable the Windows Installer service? If yes, run services.msc, scroll down to Windows Installer, double click it, press Start and if the Startup Type is not set to Automatic, then do so. If no, do the same. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/186057-windows-installer-error/#findComment-2414696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpugeniusmv Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 are you, by any chance, using any of the SP2 betas? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/186057-windows-installer-error/#findComment-2419484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
I8PP Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Windows Installer 2.0 (NT4 and 2000 but I don't see why it wouldn't work in XP): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en I'm sure there's a 3.0 somewhere, because it's in SP2.

Verbose. Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 If you're using WU5 and have installed Windows Installer 3.0 RC2 you may have problems with MSI files. You could either uninstall Windows Installer or re-register it, here.

war Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Or just add /remove programs and uninstall windows installer. If you using sp2 and WU5. It will then revert back to the preivious install.
