Hello,

WInd win2000 server, get above error message when installing software:

Failed to connect to server: 0x80040154

Windows Installer
The windows Installer could not be accessed.

Any idea how to fix this??

Thanks
 
1. Click Start, click Run, type REGEDIT, and click OK.
2. In Registry Editor, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer by clicking
the
PLUS(+) sign.
3. Highlight the MSIServer folder in the left pane, and double-click the
ImagePath
entry in the right pane.
4. Please set the value to the following path:
C:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe /V
5. Click OK, and then exit the Registry Editor.
6. Restart the computer.
7. Keep press F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears.
8. Choose the Safe Mode, and press Enter. Note: In the Safe Mode, your
system
display and Desktop will look and perform differently than in Normal Mode.
This is
only temporary.
9. Click Start, click Run, type COMMAND, and click OK.
10. After the DOS prompt appears, type the following command: msiexec
/regserver
11. Restart the computer in Normal mode.
 
Thank you so much.....

What did you think happened that caused this??
