"Windows installer service could not be accessed..."
5 replies, posted
I get "Windows installer service could not be accessed..." error persistently, the service is set automatic and I've googled the shit out of this problem but nothing is helping me at all.

Maybe some kind person here could help me with this... I can't start MSI's.
After a quick google of the problem look here:

Haven't fully read the article but to me it looks like either: Damaged files, Damaged registry entries or a simple configuration problem.
Yeah, that did nothing for me as usual. Microsofts support posts generally aren't helpful.
I recommend repairing / cleaning your registry with a registry repair tool (make sure it's safe by downloading from a site such as cnet). Also I'm sure there is a command line you can execute to repair certain corrupt windows files (you'll have to find it sorry!).
If all else fails do a system installation repair of which a guide can be found here: [url]http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/instxprepair1.htm[/url]
Hope this helps!

Trying "Free Windows Registry repair 2.5", I hope this works.

apparently I had alot of corrupt and missing registry entries aswell as 1500 other "Errors". Restarting to see if this fixes it.

Fuck sakes, downloading iso from MSDN so I can do a damn install repair. Its times like these that having a shared MSDN account is useful.
Problem solved, did a "upgrade" installation on my current copy of windows 7 with W7 SP1 install iso.
