I suddenly became unable to install some applications. Whenever I would try,
I would get the following:
"Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can
occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is
not correctly installed. ..."
The solutions I found in the MS KB were not effective for me. After
searching other sites, I found this solution that worked for me. The paths I
use assume that Windows is installed in the C:\WINDOWS folder. Change the
path to match your installation if necessary.
In Registry Editor, navigate to:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer
then change the DisplayName value to:
C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\msiexec.exe /V
Close registry editor, then register the installer by opening a command
prompt and running:
C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\msiexec.exe /regserver
Restart Windows.
