415668 2005-12-24 22:06:00 Recently, I'm having problems installing new applications or software on my win xp pro pc. After showing "checking the operating system" msg over the status bar when it gets full. A different window msg comes saying
" The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if u r running windows in safe mode, or if Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact ur support personnel for assissstance."
Im running my pc on normal mode and have no virus or trojan after my recent scan. This is the log I get using Hijackthis sofware

415672 2005-12-25 19:32:00 The Windows installer may disabled.

Right-click my computer... "Manage"

Expand the Services tree.

Find "Windows Installer"

It should say "Automatic" or "Manual"

Right-click it, and "Start"
