Could you please advise what could be wrong when I try to
install/start Office 2003 cd and application on Windows
XP machine and getting the following message "The Windows
Installer Service could not be accessed"?

Go to Start/Run and type: services.msc and press OK.

Scroll down to the Windows Installer service and double click that item.
Make sure that it is set to Automatic or Manual. Click on Start the service.

Ronnie,

Thank you very much for your reply to the problem I have
on my computer. It appears that I do not have Windows
Installer service at all on my computer. I mean, there is
not service "Windows Installer" at all. And I think, I
used to see it there before. Could you please advise -
how I can reinstall or get back Windows Installer service?

Sincerely,

Leo

Try these fixes, in this order. (Originally posted by MVP Kelly)

To unregister and re-register Windows Installer:
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type in the Open box: msiexec /unregister and then click OK.


Click Start, and then click Run.
Type in the Open box: msiexec /regserver click OK.
Type commands exactly, including the space between c and /.

This will not affect programs which use Windows Installer that are already
installed.

Using IE6. Recently every time I launch my application and open a new
window, Windows Installer performs an installation. I see a quick popup
indicating this. Is there a simple way to eliminate this? I would
appreciate a step-by-step as I am not very tech-oriented. Thanks in
advance, Fran

I have the same problem and have not found a solution ... Dan

I received the following fix from an MS newsgroup:
Look for wininit.ini and rename it wininit.old
Reboot.
If all is well you can delete it. It may be a file left over from previous
installation.

I haven't tried it yet. Let me know how it goes...Fran
