Unable to access Windows Installer service workaround

"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed" (Unable to access the Windows Installer Service) error message when you install the program in Windows XP.

　　To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

　　Method One:

Uninstall, reinstall the Windows Installer service

First, use the DOS command window msiexec/unregserver to stop Windows Installer service.

Second, download InstMsiW.exe, with winrar decompression open. Enter the directory.

Third, right click Msi.inf, click Install, right click Mspatcha.inf, click Install.

Four, then use the DOS command Window msiexec.exe/regserver enable the service.

　　Method Two:

1. If you have installed ACDSee5.0 (including mini Chinese version), uninstall it. Reload Windows if it's not working

Installer or ACDSee 4.0.

2. Run cmd, then run Sfc/scannow check system files

3. Run Services.msc, set the Windows Installer service to run manually, and then rerun

4. Open Task Manager, locate and end the Ikernel.exe process, reinstall

5. Disable antivirus software for real-time protection

6. Delete the text of C:Program FilesCommon Filesinstallshieldengine6intel 32

folder, and then restart the computer and re-run setup

　　Method Three:

This is due to some software-producing problems that are causing Windows Installer to not work properly

　　The recovery steps are as follows:

1. Install Windows installer2.0 again, run Instmsiw.exe

If the "service has been installed" and then go straight out of the installation then do it again, or you can reload on the OK!

2. Delete [Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesmsiserver] in the registry

Then run Instmsiw.exe

3. Trick:

(1) Delete MSIServer service

Run regedit, remove the MSIServer service below

[Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesmsiserver]

Save the following as a Unmsiserver.reg file, and then double-click the left button to merge it into the registry

; Unmsiserver.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesmsiserver]

(2) Delete MSI file

Using the following script as a Unmsi.inf file, and then right-clicking install on the INF file deletes some MSI DLLs, at which point the Windows SFC mechanism may warn some system files to be modified to insert the Win2K disc and ignore it. This script was modified by me from the Instmsiw.exe.

; Unmsi.inf
