The Windows Installer service could not be accessed' on Windows XP?
When you attempt to install a program that uses Windows Installer, such as
Office XP, you receive:
============================

"The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you
are running in safe
mode or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. "
This error is probably the result of a damaged registration service.

To resolve this issue:
1. Open a CMD.EXE prompt.
2. Type msiexec /unregister and press Enter.
3. Type msiexec /regserver and press Enter.
 that is it .. As frustrating as it was it should be fixed now
=======================

Error 1719, 'The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed'?

When you run an MSI package, you receive:

Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. You may be
running in Safe mode or Windows Installer may not be correctly installed.

To fix this problem:

1. Use the Registry Editor to navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer

2. Double-click the ImagePath Value Name, a REG_EXPAND_SZ data type, and
verify that the data string is %SystemRoot%\System32\msiexec.exe /V, where
%SystemRoot% is the location of your OS, like C:\Winnt or C:\Windows.

3. Shutdown and restart in Safe mode by pressing F8 when the boot menu
displays.

4. After you log on, run msiexec /regserver.

5. Shutdown and restart normally.
============================

Maybe the Windows Installer service is disabled on the machine. From the
Start menu select Run and type "services.msc". Double-click on the service
named "Windows Installer". Check the value in the 'Startup type:' field. If
it's currently set to "Disabled", then this is the problem. Change it by
selecting "Manual" from the drop-down box.

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
