Re: Windows installer

 

Click Start, Run, and type SERVICES.MSC. In the right pane, right-click Windows Installer, and then click Start. Also, set the service "Startup Type" to Manual.

 

"The Windows Installer Service Could Not Be Accessed" error message when you install a program in Windows XP:
