From: Christa on
Hello MowGreen,

Thanks again.
I have tried all your suggestions, but unfortunately so far no results.

Wit the installation from both download-locations, I now get the error
message: ´can´t get acces to the windows installer-service´.

I´ve installed Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable, but it keeps giving
the same message.

So please help me again.

Greetings,

Christa

From: Christa on
I have googled to see how to fix that error. I have found some solutions, but
it doesn´t work yet.
If I try to start windows installer in Services it gives an error 3: the
system cannot find the path specified.

I found that the specifies path is a file:
WINDOWS\TEMP\IXP000.TMP\MsiExec.exe /V, but this path doesn´t exist and I
don´t know how to change that path to SYSTEM32 (where I have an msiexec.exe
file).

Hopefully this gives you more useful information.

Thanks.

From: Christa on
I have changed it to the right path, but that doesn´t solve the problem.
I still get the error that the windows installer service could not be
accessed.

From: MowGreen [MVP] on
You are persistent, Christa. I'd wager the message is in reference to a
Permissions issue. BUT, it may be that the Windows Installer files are
damaged/corrupted.
So, suggest you try the Resolutions in this MSKB -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315346
If the Installer still will not install after doing those steps, then
it's definitely a Permissions issue.
You'll need to run a tool named SubInACL. That will reset the
Permissions in the registry to their Default settings.
Problem is, it won't install with the Windows Installer being installed.

I'm going to the MVP Summit in Seattle tomorrow and will have limited
access to the newsgroups. IF you want me to send the SubInACL tool to
you in script format, let me know by tonight.
Then all you'd have to do is drag the folder to the root drive, usually
C:\, and run the reset.cmd file.

Hello,

I am not sure if I am still in time (not sure what timezone you are in), but
I would like you to send me the tool in script format. Otherwise please send
it to me after your trip to Seattle (my computer isn´t going anywhere these
days without being able to install anything).

Thanks once again.
