I have had an issue with the Windows Installer Service lately.

I use STOPZILLA and when it needs to update I get an error message stating that the windows installer service is missing or corrupt.

I looked for the program and when I try opening it I get a message stating that the service already exists and it wont do anything.

Whats up with that?

Thanks

Open the Command Prompt and type this, after each line press enter:

msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver

Edit: Or try any of the other methods described in the following article:

I get an error message stating that it can't find the file MSIEXEC or one of its components. Make sure the path or filename are correct........


so

I guess I'll try the other suggestion in the link you supplied.

Thank. I will post if it works.

I ended up installing Installer 3.1 and so far the problem is fixed.
