Windows installer service not working

[Guest JFK]

Windows XP x64: The problem started 2 days after a new system install. After

installing some programs and numerous updates. BOOM!!! The windows installer

was not working even though the service appeared to be running. Followed the

advise at MS KB and eventually tried re-installing installer. It is now not

even showing up under Services. I can not install any programs and even one

critical Windows update will not install. Appreciate any help.

Hi,

This is the latest windows installer available:

and this is the installer you should be downloading:

WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-x64.exe
