ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Welcome to the Windows Forum!Check here for a few possibilities. What version of Windows Installer do you have - 3.0 or 3.1?I see that you are still on Windows XP SP1; I would strongly recommend that you upgrade to SP2. Do you also get installation errors when you try to install SP2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 It sounds like it may not be running. Go to Start, run and type services.msc and make sure the Windows Installer service is set to Manual. Post back how you make out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
