If a software installation problem occurs and the software cannot be uninstalled in normal mode, it can only go into the safe mode of the system, but in the safe mode of the system, but it is unable to uninstall Windows Installer packaged software, when uninstalling, it will prompt "windows The installer service cannot access the security mode. Please try again when your computer is not in Safe mode or you use System Restore to restore your machine to a previous good state ";

In safe mode, there is a Windows Installer (msiserver) service service, and if you try to manually start it in Safe mode, you get an error that "Windows cannot start the Windows Installer service on the local computer." Error 1084: This service cannot start Safe mode ".

To start the Safe mode, you can use the following two methods:

1. "Run"---> "regedit"----> "Hkey_local_machine/system/currentcontrolset/control/safeboot/minimal" under "new" one "item"

The name is "MSIServer", in the default "value data" of the item, fill in "Service"; close the registry;

"Run"---> "services.msc", find "msiserver" point to start, you can start the Windows Installer service;

2. You can enter the following information directly at the "command Prompt"

REG ADD "Hklm/system/currentcontrolset/control/safeboot/minimal/msiserver"/ve/t reg_sz/f/d "Service"

net start MSIServer

Note: If it is in safe mode with network, it is in safeboot/network to build corresponding "item" and modify "numerical data";

Similarly, if the printer spooler service cannot be started in Safe mode, you can also use the same method:

You can start the printer Spooler service by setting up an "Spooler" item under Safeboot/minimal or/safeboot|/network in the registry and changing the value data to "services", but printer Spooler services rely on other services, so you need to start other dependent services, you can use the following command:

In the "Run"---> "sc config spooler depend= rpcss"
