Windows Installer Problems

Every time you configure. net on the server or modify an existing project, it will take a lot of time because of the Windows Installer problem. This is also true today.

I searched the internet and did not expect many people to be connected to the same patient. It seems that Windows Installer is really annoying.

The methods provided on the Internet are now shared with you:
"You cannot access the Windows Installer Service. It may be that you have not correctly installed Windows or Windows Installer in a secure mode ......" When you install a file package in the MSI format, you may encounter Windows Installer errors. This is because the Windows Installer Service is not enabled, but when you try to enable this service, you will find that this service has been disabled by the system, or the Windows Installer Service has been marked as deleted, causing the software to be unable to be installed.

If you reinstall the Windows Installer Service, the system prompts "the specified service already exists ". This is really a headache. Is there no good way to reinstall the system?

By viewing the instructions in the Help file provided by the system and the introduction of online friends, the solution is as follows:
