I currently tried to install software on my computer. the
Windows Installer Service is not working correctly how
would I run a diagnostic to fix or fix the installer
itself?
 
For the installer problem:
To resolve this behaviour, unregister, and then re-register Windows Installer.
This procedure corrects most situations, and does not affect any
currently-installed program that uses the Windows Installer.
To unregister and re-register Windows Installer:
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type in the Open box: msiexec /unregister and then click OK.
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type in the Open box: msiexec /regserver click OK.
Type commands exactly, including the space between c and /.
This will not affect programs which use Windows Installer that are already
installed.
or
Windows Installer error
Go to Start/Run and type: regsvr32 msi.dll
then
Go to Start/Run and type
SFC /SCANNOW
Make sure you have your WinXP CD in the CD Drive before executing the SFC
command.
