Everytime I try to install or uninstall a program I get this message:
"Windows Installer not accessable" Then it tells me that this problem could
occur if Windows is being run in safe mode, which it is not.

Any suggested troubleshooting ideas?

I dont think either the mvp or knowlege base gave a very good answer to
youre question,they actually suck....Try going to run,type:services.msc In
msc
scroll down to installer,double click,select auto run from the manual mode
its
now in,then start the service,close out msc.
 
I've also been getting this same message, and have tried every solution I've
ever come acrosss, to no avail. When I do what you suggested below, I
recieved the following error:

"Error 5: Access is denied"

Any suggestions? I am the admin on this computer (it's my personal one).

Thanks,

Adrian
 
I have been having the same problem for about 3 days and NOTHING that has
been said here works so far... I would like to try and uninstall 3.1 and try
3.0 to see if the issue still remains... but I don't know how to uninstall
it... also I think it is messing up my windows update as well.... It tells me
to enable something in IE that is already enabled in my security settings....
any help is appreciated. ;-)
