Error 1719, 'The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed'? 07-Feb-02
Make sure you back up your data first.
WARNING!!! Anything you do in the registry can make your computer unstable or unusable.
Please just follow the instructions below very carefully, if done right you will be ok, again i say "DO A BACK UP FIRST".

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.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
