I am also running into this problem. After I install an MSI sometimes I have
seen that I cannot run any more MSI's until I reboot. I would get the same
error. THen I looked into the services and the Windows Installer service
status was "Stop Pending".

I have a workaround - reboot. But the question is, why does the service get
into this state... often. It doesnt happen every time, but I have seen it
about 5 times in a month.

TIA

First please check if Windows Installer Service is Started .

If you are not administrator , it could cause problem, login as admin and
then try uninstalling


use following command to uninstall the package:

Msiexec /x <Path of Source MSI\setup.msi> /l*v <Path to create log
file.log>

/l option is for log file

Try if you can find any relevant information in LOg file.
