I have this problem while trying to install Acrobat Reader
6 in Win2K.

Here is the actual error message.

"The Windows Installer Service could not be accesed. This
can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if
the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact
your support personnel for assistance"

I was not running on Safe Mode when I received the error
message.

Thanks for your help in advance!!!!

Hi

Try the methods one by one outlined here to fix Windows Installer problems in
Win2k and NT4:

PRB: Incorrect Default DCOM Settings Cause Windows Installer to Stop Responding

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;319624


After running through the four points above, also try this from Start/Run:

msiexec /regserver


If that doesn't solve your problem, and you have MSI 2.0 installed, downgrade
to version 1.1 (somewhat messy), and then install MSI 2.0 again:
