MSI Installer Quit Working


Recommended Posts

Posted

On windows 03 server I now get a message anytime I try to install/uninstall a

program syaing that the windows installer could not be activated. I went

throught the KB and follwed information on how to determine if the installer

was installed corectly, and tried reregistering the installer but still get

the same message. When I try to start the installer service manually I get

this message "Could not start the windows installer service on local

computer. Error 14007: The requested lookup key was not found in any active

activation context." How can I fix the installer so that I can continue?
