[Guest]

Try going to run,type:services.msc In msc scroll down to installer,double
click on it,in the new window,select auto start,then start the service,exit
msc

I tried this with my problem and it says "could not start the windows
installer service on local computer. error 5 access is denied.

Try starting the service using the built-in Administrator account. If that
does not help, type this in Start/Run and post the output here:

cmd /k sc qc msiserver

Mine reads:
------------

[SC] GetServiceConfig SUCCESS

SERVICE_NAME: msiserver
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
START_TYPE : 3 DEMAND_START

BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe /V

ok, tried the first thing, did not work, and the reading of msiserver is
identical to yours. was unable to post it, but double checked for accuracy.
Now what? There has got to be a way to start the program, the files are still
there, just unaccessable, what would have happened to trigger this response?

Well, I think I have it fixed. Went all the way in and just unclicked and
reclicked some stuff and was able to load Java without error messages.
Thanks for all you help. Hope the fix-it job continues to work.

Ah! I was spending 30 minutes now for this issue, and was going to suggest
this one:

Type in Start, Run:
cmd /c sc sdshow msiserver >c:\sd.txt

Then, open c:\sd.txt with Notepad, and post the contents here.

Mine reads as:
---------------

DA;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCR
RC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)
