The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed (Error 1719)

For a couple of weeks, I've been unable to install or uninstall any
64-bit applications that uses the Windows Installer. I alway get the
message "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can
occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your
support personnel for assistance." Installing and uninstalling 32-bit
applications that rely on MSI does work correctly.

- I have unregistered/registered both instance of msiexec (System32 and
SysWOW64). Done this in normal as well as safe mode, rebooting after
each try.
- The service is registered and running. (Doesn't stop when it
starts.)
- As far as I can tell, registry entries in the MSIServer key are
correct.
- When logging the installer results, it reporst an error 1719 right
after the line "Connected to service for CA interface"
- Installed service pack 1 but that didn't fix the problem
- Tried every solution found in kb and forums all over the place and
nothing does the trick.

This was merely an annoyance at first but now I really need to install
and uninstall some stuff and I'm stuck. I don't want to do a fresh
install either.

I finally found a solution to my problem.

Altough my MSIServer registry key was correct, there was an Enum subkey
that was causing all my problems. Once I removed this key, the 64-bit
installer started working again.

Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

Enum subkey?

Hello,

I have the same problem and I cant get it fixed.. what is the Enum subkey? and how can I get rid of it

 

Re: Enum subkey?

Click Start, type Regedit.exe and press ENTER.

Navigate to the following branch:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet
\Services
\MSIServer

From the File menu, choose Export, and save the branch to a .REG file.

Exit the Registry Editor.

Open the .REG file using Notepad.

Copy the file contents and post it here.

Hi DAB,

I'm unable to download the attachment (from the Gateway you posted from). Perhaps you can use a newsreader to attach files, or post in plain-text format, or mail the file to me directly.

Hello Ramesh,

I have the same problem. To fix the Enum subkey, you asked Mustafa to
open the .Reg file, copy it and post it to this forum. But, for unknown
reasons he didn't post it. Therefore, I'll post mine instead so that you
could explain how to delete the subkey.

Thanks before hand.

The startup type of Windows Installer was already in Manuel mode. So,
the solution hasn't helped me fix the error.

Salim,

Download and run msiserver.reg linked in that page, even though Windows Installer service is listed correctly. That ought to help.

Thank you for your solution tips. Yet I don't know how to run a
downloaded software when Windows Installer doesn't work properly. In
fact, I tried to run msiserver.reg but it didn't work.

Anyway, This is not my problem now. Due to a problem with my internet
connection, I re-installed Windows Vista with Packard Bell's Smart
Restore. Due to a minor problem, I tried then to restore my computer to
a prior point in time. It didn't work. I tried to restore it to another
point in time. It didn't work either. All I keep getting after each
attempt is the following error message:"System Restore did not complete
successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not
changed. Details: An unspecified error occurred during system restore".

So can you or anyone else help me fix this problem?

I also have the "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed"
problem (in Vista 32 SP1). I've read and tried all the solutions
suggested here and elsewhere on the Web, but nothing works so far. It
seems like an MSI Server registry fix ought to be part of the answer,
but when I apply any such fix and reboot, the original entries are
unchanged (I've checked the permissions).

Eventually I guess I'll have to do a repair install of Vista, but as I
have SP1 installed I believe I'll need to create a slipstreamed setup
disk in order to do the repair.

If any kind person has a suggested solution that hasn't already been
mentioned anywhere, it would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.

Do a Google search on Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. You will be overwhelmed with info.

Re: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed (Error 171

What do you delete? The hole
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer\Enum] >
"0"="Root\\LEGACY_MSISERVER\\0000" > "Count"=dword:00000001 >
"NextInstance"=dword:00000001 >" or only NextInstance?
