How to use Windows Installer in Safe Mode on Vista
2 replies, posted
So, I'm trying to fix someone's laptop, but I need to run Malwarebytes in Safe Mode to do so. And in Safe Mode the Windows Installer won't run. I've tried editing the registry by running thos command in the cmd prompt.
[code]REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MSIServer/VE/TREG_SZ/F/D %Service%[/code]
But every time I do, I get the ERROR: Invalid Syntax.
Can anyone help me?
For normal safe mode put this in the command prompt:
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MSIServer" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"
and then
net start msiserver
For safe mode with networking:
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\MSIServer" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"
followed by
net start msiserver
I'll try that, then post back with the results.
