Hi everybody,
my Windows 2000 server + SP4 has a problem :-}

Every msi installation is stopped.
Only the text "Configuring Windows Installer" (or something like that) is displayed and nothing happens after that. The insatallation is stuck and must be killed by task manager.

I have tried to reinstall installer version 2 but no help. I am not sure if this was succesfull. At the beginning it complaints that the servise already exist, but removing some files (found instructions from one newsgroup) it did not give that error any more. I still have the feeling that the msi installaton is not good. It did not copy the necessary files under system32 folder. I did some modification manually.

Must I run the Windows repair from the original inbstallation CD + SP4 or what ?

The machine is working OK (I hope), only msi packet installations cause trouble.

Best Regads

Hi,

the only way I got this working was Windows reinstallation.
SP4 reinstallation or Windows repair did not help.
