| 651047 | 2008-03-20 08:46:00 | what do I need to put in the first part marked as %windir% ? Here is a complete set of steps that should allow you to repair the Windows Installer service on a 64-bit OS: Click on the Start menu, choose Run, type cmd and click OK Run %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister Run %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister Run %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver Run %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver |

| 651048 | 2008-03-20 08:51:00 | don't you just type exactly what you just posted in cmd? Im not sure what you mean by 'what do I need to put in the first part marked as %windir%' ummm perhaps %windir%? aka winodws directory | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||
| 651049 | 2008-03-20 08:54:00 | I don't know the syntax, I'm assuming it wants me to point at the windows directory.\ When I type it word for word it says 'The directory name is invalid' |

| 651050 | 2008-03-20 08:55:00 | Just go to run, type in or copy and paste (from %windir% and the rest of it) ie: %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver Or make a batch file (save it as a bat file, and then double click on it). If it works, it'll say its successful It'll know what to do with the %windir% command You'll see if you type as far as %windir%\ the files in that folder appear |
