I've recenlty experienced an error message when trying to
install software. The message read as follows:
The Window's Installer Service could not be accessed.
This can occur if you are running Windows in a Safe
mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly
installed. Contact your Support personnel for
assistance.
Anyone see this message before? Will I have to do a
system restore? If so, do I loose all programs installed
after that date. The problem stared around the 19th. I
had to do a complete system recovery on the 12th after
which I began to install updates and reinstall programs.

Any and all help is appreciated. I've already spent $35
to hear that the partion issue that prevented from
accessing Windows was not something Microsoft could help
with. And I am becoming very frustrated with MS right
now.

Thanks.
