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

Server 2003 64 BIT
I suddenly became unable to install some applications. Whenever I would
try,
I would get the following:
"Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This
can
occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows
Installer is
not correctly installed. ..."

The solutions I found in the MS KB were not effective for me.

solution
The paths I use assume that Windows is installed in the C:\WINDOWS
folder. Change the
path to match your installation if necessary.

In Registry Editor, navigate to:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer
then change the DisplayName value to:
C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\msiexec.exe /V

Close registry editor, then register the installer by opening a command

prompt and running:
C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\msiexec.exe /regserver

*if this stops working you need to run the comand prompt again to
register the services - this will happen after you run updates on your
server. *

I deleted it directly inside regedit. (Altough backing up the key is
always a good precaution.) If you double-click on a .reg file it will
add it's content to the registry, but it won't delete any of the already
present keys. It will however replace any duplicated values with the
one in the file.

lol I don't know how to do that. Could you sorta explain how to
delete directly in it?

Well... to delete a key inside regedit, make sure the right key or
subkey is highlighted and press the "Del" key on your keyboard. (You
can also use the Delete command from the Edit menu, or from the
contextual menu if you right-click on it.)

HELP

Ok I am havingtghe same problem. I have tried everything. Tried to
do the 4.5 installer reinstall, and it tells me the updates are not for
my system. Did the google searches and tried it all, and still nothing
works. I have also tried the Reg Edit, but not sure if I did it right,
because it still does not work.

Do you remove all the ENUM data, or just part of it?


I tried to do the Installer cleaner, but I get the 1719 error then
also, so it cant even install... Talk about Ironic!!!


Thanks for all your help!!!

For me, that was the problematic registry key. Once I deleted that,
things started to work again. Just make sure you make a backup before
trying anything.
