Accees Denied

[Bob Pelletier]

Hi All. I am trying to rename msiexec.exe and I get access denied. Can anyone tell me how to remove the security? Thanks all.

It's not a security access denial. You are trying to remove a system file,
with an 'association to .msi files used for installing applications for
Windows. SFC can repair system files.

Hi Mark. I am trying to reintall WINDOWS INSTALLER. Maybe I don't need to do
it but I keep getting Insufficient storage on the re-install and I have
plenty and this is a resolution to rename this file. Can you suggest how I
can tell INSTALLER is working as designed? Thanks. Bob
