"Windows Installer Service could not be accessed" error message installing application.

[Ray]

Hello All,



My server is running Windows 2000 server with SP4.When I want to install any
application such as Antivirus, Adobe reader ...etc, I have error message
when installing any applications will appear on screen "Windows Installer
Service could not be accessed".

I did tried follow instruction on the article ID:319624 and download Windows
Installer 2.0 Redistributable for install Windows Installer again but I
still have the same error.

Anyone have any ideas to resolve this issue?

Thanking you in advanced.



Regards,

Ray
