Title: Windows installer issue
Post by: Swoop on March 08, 2004, 03:55:10 PM

Trying to install Daemon tools but get the error:

The windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you're running Windows in safe mode, or if the installer is not correctly installed.

Error log:

This is the only .exe I've ever had this error with. Must be a local issue since I can install this same .exe just fine on the PC next to this one running the same O/S but I've no idea what to do about it on this PC. Checked group policies and there's nothing that would prevent an install.

Um....help.
