Quickly fix the common window system software installation troubles

Text /Liu fat Zhuang

Example 1: When installing ACDsee 5.0 or virtual drive Daemon, the "Installation Error" prompt box appears.

Solution: This is the most common failure. Since these two softwares use the most advanced Windows Installer technology, they are most common in Windows 98 or earlier versions of Windows 2000. Just download the latest Windows Installer 2.0 version and fix it after installation.

Example 2: "The Windows Installer Service Could Not Be Accessed" appears when trying to install or fix Office or "This program has been updated, a file is in use, please restart you Computer try again!" error message.

Solution: The cause is that the Windows Installer file is corrupt or missing, and this issue may occur.

Method 1: Re-register the Windows Installer (for Windows 2000/XP), open the Registry Editor, find the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesMSIServer" branch, and make sure that the "ImagePath" string value under the branch contains the Msiexec.exe file. The correct path.

Note: The following is an example of the correct path, where drive is the drive where Windows is installed:

drive:WindowsSystem32msiexec.exe /V (if not, please create this key)

Restart the computer, press F8 to enter safe mode, click “Start → Run”, enter msiexec /regserver, and then “OK”.

After restarting the computer, if the problem is still not resolved, please use method 2.

Method 2: Reinstall Windows Installer, enter MS-DOS (Command Prompt window in Windows 2000/XP), run the following command.

Under Windows XP: attrib -r -s -h drive:WindowsSystem32dllcache

Under Windows 98: attrib -r -s -h drive:WindowsSystem

Then enter the following Command, enter a press and press the Enter key:

ren msi.dll msi.old

ren msiexec.exe msiexec.old

ren msihnd.dll msihnd.old< Br>

Finally, at the command prompt, type exit, then press Enter to restart your computer and update the Windows Installer file to the latest version.
