| | Another problem with Windows Installer I have recently downloaded SP1 (have auto update ON). I have now downloaded QuickTime Player7. When trying to install it, I get the following error message dialog box: "The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not properly installed...". I have followed all the steps suggested in System Maintenance to no avail. My system is: Windows Vista Premium SP1 running on a Intel Core2 Duo 2.4 GHz with 2Gb DDR2 (667Mhz) RAM (The Windows Experience Index is 5.0). Can anyone help, please? Carlos |

| | Re: Another problem with Windows Installer Problem solved with the suggestion by Mark L! I didn't think of it as I gave "permission" when requested by UAC.
