Vista - Office 2003 " Error 1719"

Whenever open any program, the screen saying configuring office 2003 pop up.
I tried to reinstall with "complete installtion", then later, "custom
installtion" with "run all from my computer", but nothing seem to work.
Office work fine, but eventime I open something, the error appear.

Have a look at MS support here, '\"Error 1719: The Windows Installer
service could not be accessed\" error message when you try to add or
remove a program' (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315346)

Since this method is quite dangerous, I hope you can help me on this one thing,

3. At the command prompt, type the following line, and then press ENTER,
where Drive is the drive where Windows is installed and where %Windir% is the
folder where Windows is installed:
attrib -r -s -h drive:\%Windir%\system32\dllcache
For example, type
attrib -r -s -h c:\windows\system32\dllcache

How do I know which drive it was in? What should I put for window? I use
Window Vista. What about going about to update the MSI. They only have update
for Window XP and before that.

Davy what does error 1719 have to do with MVPs--do you mean VIPs--or IPs?

Why are there so many damned issues separated from their threads this week?

Are you perhaps getting Error 1719 in some context?

I'm not sure what your search results are pointing to.

Error 1719 represents to me an error that has an MSKB written for it that
occurs when the MSI needs to be fixed.

I'd like to help you with your problem, but all I see here is "where are the
mvps"--how much of a problem could that be?

If you're getting erro 1719 in some context, it often means you need to
repair your MSI (Windows Installer).

Hi Nghia --

What method is dangerous?

How do you know what drive WHAT was in? What is IT?

What should you put for Window?

I wish I wish you could or Davy could state whoever the OP is (I have no way
of knowing since the threads are getting chopped up and scattered.

What are you trying to fix here? What is your original issue if you're the
OP? I'd like to help but reading these two posts makes it difficult to know
what the OP's original problem is.

CH



Help me out please.

Sorry.

This is the first time I saw this post. You have Office 2003 installed on
Vista. You say I think that Office *was working fine but now every time you
try to open up one of Office's programs, that you get Error 1719. If I am
wrong, correct what I thought you said.

I'm not sure why Error 1719 pops up when you try to open up Office apps,
(because usually it's seen when someone tries to add and less frequently,
remove a program) but try going through the steps in part one of this MSKB:

"Error 1719: The Windows Installer service could not be accessed" error
message when you try to add or remove a program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315346/en-us

I know you're getting it in a different context than the title of the MSKB,
but I'd still try part one here.

After running the first part of the MSKB we have given you, I would also
(having made sure you set a restore point and additionally it would be
recommended to backup--not because any of these are in the least "dangerous"
but because it's good practice:

1) I'd run Office Diagnostics
2) If necessary and it doesn't fix your Office problem, I'd download and use
the WICU (Windows Installer Cleanup Utility) google it--it's download is at
the bottom of the MSKB on it and after selecting every entry on it's
interface that connects with Office, I'd uninstall it and reinstall it.

Since you have Office 2003 you can run Detect and Repair after you do the
steps in the first part of the Error 1719 MSKB, the download the Win
Installer Cleanup Utility and use it, and then uninstall Office 2003 and
reinstall it if Detect and Repair hasn't fixed it.

I use Window Vista. Notebook. 32-bit system

I can install Office 2003 and it work fine. But whenever I open a program,
any program, it says window configuring. When the error screen 1719 pop, it
says..."Window Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the
Window Installer is not correctly installed".
I uninstalled a program earlier which I though was a spyware, but actually,
I believe, is an MSI. I check my event log, it show I have a lot of MSI
error.
So, I believe the nessecary should be reinstalled MSI. I check for MSI on my
computer already; I cannot find it location.
According to this link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315346/en-us
It says Method 2, Step 3
3. At the command prompt, type the following line, and then press ENTER,
where Drive is the drive where Windows is installed and where %Windir% is the
folder where Windows is installed:
attrib -r -s -h drive:\%Windir%\system32\dllcache
For example, type
attrib -r -s -h c:\windows\system32\dllcache
Just to make sure, what should I put for drive and window?
--Nghia, Thanks guys
