Windows Installer?!


Recommended Posts

Hi Forum

I've just downloaded a Anti-Virus program called ESET Nod32, but the installation file is a .msi file (You use Windows Installer to open this file).

And when I open the file all Windows Installer does is this:

And i tried installing another version of Windows Installer, but they say I don't have enough storage? (Common I have 700gb! And 8gb RAM)

Thanks in advance!

You use Windows Installer to open this file.

Not quite sure what you mean by that. You can use msiexec to run an MSI file, especially if you want to specify installer options. But if you don't, then just double-click on the MSI installer, and it will automatically invoke the Windows Installer.

What O/S is this ?

What settings show under "Local Services" for the Windows Installer Service ? - is it Automatic, Manual of Disabled ?

I'm not sure what 0/S is? But I use Windows Vista Home Basic x64 - Service pack 2

Uhmm.. And how do I locate "Local Services"?

I am having problems which seem to have just started. When I try to remove a programme in 'Add and Remove' I am told that 'Windows installer cannot be accessed. It is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel' I have also had some dounloads from Microsoft which get the same treatment. Would be very pleased if someone could help me!

Thanks in advance
