unregister, and then re-register Windows Installer
=================================================
1. Click "Start", and then click "Run".

2. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /unregister" (without the quotation
marks), and then click "OK".

3. Click "Start", and then click "Run".

4. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /regserver" (without the quotation
marks), and then click "OK".

If that doesn't work...follow the instructions on the Article:

"Error 1719. The Windows Installer service could not be accessed" error message when you try to add or remove a program

Darren,

I read your suggestions, they were helpful but I am still not able to
uninstall or install programs on my XP PRO SP2 PC? I tried all of the steps
in article ID 315346. I did a search in c:\ dir and found Msiexec.exe in
the prefetch folder in windows\perfetch. In the article in suggests that
it should be in the c:\ windows\system32\Msiexec. I made the necessary
changes in the Registry to point to c:\windows\perfetch\Msiexec.exe with out
any luck? The only thing I haven’t tried is to install a new Windows
Installer, which in the article MS says that this isn't necessary.


Please advise,

Thanks

steve

Darren,

re: windows installer is not correctly installed - tried all available in
newsgroup including Article ID:315346 - Method 1. Re-Register the Windows
Installer & Method 2. Reinstall the Windows Installer.
Still telling me- "The Windows Installer service could not be accessed etc" >
An event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers >Could not write value
to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\.MSI. Verify if you have
sufficient access etc > Internal Error 2744. Reg Server,
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe,/regserverCA

Please advise
Lynn
