by sysengineer

Go to Start > Run and type compmgmt.msc

When the computer management dialog applet comes up look for Services and Applications. Click the + sign to expand the menu and from that click services.

On the right hand side of the screen locate the windows installer service and double-click on it.

Change the start-up type to "automatic" and then click the button to start the service. You shouldnt have to re boot after starting the service.

Hope this helps.
