I installed Microsoft Antispy on my laptop without problem.
When I tried to do so on my PC, I got a msg. that Windows
Installer services couldn't be accessed.

I've tried to install in secure mode and in normal mode but
with all start programs turned off with the same result.

As far as I can tell this is the first and only time there
has been a problem with Windows Installer.

Any suggestions???
 
What do you get if at a command prompt you type:

sc queryex msiserver <enter>?

I get:


SERVICE_NAME: msiserver
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
STATE : 1 STOPPED
(NOT_STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 1077 (0x435)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0
PID : 0
FLAGS :

It should be set to manual start, as I recall.
