Solution to failure to access the Windows Installer Service

Windows Installer, which is rarely heard and exposed by users, is used when we install software. If a problem occurs in Windows Installer, then we cannot install software in Windows XP.

"The Windows Installer Service cocould not be accessed" error message is displayed when you install a program in Windows XP.

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

Method 1:

2. Download instmsiw.exe and decompress it with WinRAR. Enter the directory.

3. Right-click MSI. inf, click Install, right-click mspatcha. inf, and click Install.

Use the doscommand window msiexec.exe/regserver to enable the Service.
