I am running Vista Home Premium 32bit and have recently encountered a problem when trying to install/uninstall some programs, I receive the following error message:-
''The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if the windows installer has not been correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance''
I have tried everything on the Microsoft site and I cannot even install the windows installer cleanup utility I get the error message in a box titled
'Windows Script Host' in a blue titled box then underneath
Script: C:\Users\TONYL~1\AppData\local\Temp\IXP000.Tmp\Start MSi.vbs
Line: 17
Char: 1
Error: Permission Denied
Code: 800A0046
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
I have also tried sfc / scannow and it comes back with:-
'Windows Resource Protection did not find any intergrity violations'
I have tried contacting Microsoft but cannot get an answer, does anybody know what is wrong and how to correct the problem. I have tried running reg-cleaners and system restores back to the beginning of the month but the problem persists.
