Windows Installer

[Jim Tepe]

Does anyone know why my Windows Installer Service keeps stopping? I get a
'Error 5' when I manually try to start it. I have it set to run
'Automatically at startup. The only way to get it to start is reboot but it
shortly stops by itself.

None of these suggestions worked.
