So for a long long time I've had problems with the Windows Installer service not being accessible and not letting me install things etc. However I remember I followed a guide to fix it and it just made things worse, the windows installer service was gone entirely. I've not really bothered looking for a fix because it's just become strenuous and I didn't particularly need anything installed at the time. Now I do however, and I've no idea where to begin. Some notes however. I use Windows Vista x64, but I didn't get an installation disc with my PC so I can't reformat it, nor do I know how to anyway.

Hi everybody! During one installation I disabled my AVG antivirus, since I thought that the alerts were false positives, but I turned out to be wrong and infected my computer (Windows 7). Afterwards I did a full scan, rebooted the computer, did another full scan and haven't seen any virus alerts since. But something happened to Windows Installer - I always get this error: The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. I see that the service is started, I've tried fixing it's registry, reregistering and whatnot, nothing seems to have helped. Do you think that the virus can still be there, just no detected by AVG, or is it something it did and then got cleaned, but the Installer is still corrupt? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
