windows defender beta 2

[Guest]

Hi,

I tried to install the new anti-spware on my computer but got this error,

the windows installer service could not be accessed. this can occur if youre
running windows in safe mode, or if windows installer service is not
correctly installed. contact your support personal for assistance.

And I have the latest version of msi installed

Hi,

go to windows update and download all updates for your OS, than try again.
Else download:

Install and run it with all the marks on!
Hope this was helpful, let us now.

Hi Tom,

the solution you suggested didn't work,

and the msi missed up with the other files.

When I click on the other exe files with the installed, it says the same
message.

Hello msdnuser06,

Be sure you have Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable (v2)

Before installing Windows Defender again, right click Microsoft Start
(lower left corner of screen), click Explore, at top of screen, click Tools,
click Folder options, click File Types. Scrool down to MSI. Make sure MSI is
associated with Windows Installer Package.

For the benefit of the community reading this post, please rate the pºst.

I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.

I am having similar problems installing the 64-bit version of defender beta
2. I recieve error message 1719: Windows Installer Service could not be
accessed..... I am current on all microsoft updates. Any suggestions? Is
there a 64-bit windows installer that I can try and install, b/c Engel's link
did not seem to be compatable with 64-bit windows xp. Thanks for any help...
