windows 8 Windows 8 Windows Installer service could not be accessed (Error 1719)

[News Bot]

Seriously, Microsoft???  This same error has been coming up since Windows XP!  It is January 2013.

 

Windows 8 64x.  Attempting to install Adobe 9, getting this same error.

I run mmc services - the services IS started, IS set to manual, and the option to change the startup is grayed out.  I am an administrator on my machine.

I tried the following in a cmd.exe window "Run as Administrator".

> msiexec /unregister

> msiexec /regserver

> net stop msiserver

> net start msiserver

The service reported it successfully stopped and started.

 

Still won't install, and anything else that uses the Microsoft Windows Installer won't install. 

 

I find nothing about this happening on a Windows 8 install.  I am dual-booting Windows 7 and Windows 8, and it is happening only on Windows 8.

Can't you get out an authoritative fix on this?????  Seriously?
