Error 1719 when trying to install VirtualPC

Any known solution that actually work?
I'm getting "Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be
accessed. This can occur..." when I try to Install Virtual PC, but other
applications install just fine. So far only Virtual PC seem to be causing
any problems on this box (Vista Business 64-bit).

Re: Error 1719 when trying to install VirtualPC

Hi Rick,

I have tried this (method 1) and it doesn't help. I still get the same
error. Method 2 isn't possible since there is no installer download for
Vista available.

Regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

That's why I only mentioned trying method 1.

What version of Vista are you trying to install VirtualPC to? It will not
install to Home Premium or Basic.

Re: Error 1719 when trying to install VirtualPC

Hi,

While in safe mode, did you reregister both the 32 and 64 bit versions of
msiexec?

Virtual PC is a 32-bit application, so the critical one is the one in
syswow64.
