Still have Windows Installer problem
 

I still regularly receive an error 1719 when try to install or uninstall some
programs. I read all the posts in the recent thread. I have updated the
installer, I have checked my OS version, I have insured that the installer is
in auto and started in services, but it still says that the Installer cannot
be accessed.

Re: Still have Windows Installer problem
 

Has this problem been happening all along, from the day you installed the
OS? If not, have you tried doing system restore to a point before the
problem started occurring, which programs are you encountering this issue
with? Have you clean out your temporary files directory and tried
installing, probably some conflict there.

Re: Still have Windows Installer problem
 

Thanks for the quick reply, Andre.

No, the problem was first noticed a few weeks ago when I tried to uninstall
Tiny PF after the trial period had expired. I forgot to mention it, but I
cannot restore to any of the older restore points - thanks for the reminder
on that. Clearing out the temp folder doesn't help.

I have been able to uninstall BOClean, and was able to install the update
with no problem. I was able to install FF 1.5 with no problem. But I can't
uninstall TPF, I can't install Win adware updates, and there are a couple of
older 32 bit proggies that I also cannot install. The Win Installer update
apparently worked - I didn't receive any error messages, and it said that it
updated satisfactorily.

Re: Still have Windows Installer problem
 

In the case of removing Tiny PF, I would reboot into Safe Mode and attempt
removal.

Re: Still have Windows Installer problem
 

Thanks again, Andre.

I had tried safe mode before without success. I tried it again to be sure.

I have two msiexec.exe files, one of 162 KB in C:\windows\system32, and one
of 77KB in C:\windows\SysWOW64. I found the registry key listed, and it was
correct for system32. I did not find a similar key for the second instance,
but am not sure my search string is correct for the second instance, as it
may be different. I did look through nearby keys without finding anything.
I have not tried method two, as x64 isn't listed in the instructions, and,
with two instances of msi exec, I don't want to "experiment".

Of course TPF is a 64 bit proggie, but I have also had problems with 32 bit
proggies.

Re: Still have Windows Installer problem
 

Have you tried to reinstall the program and then uninstall it.

Since it is an expired trial, it won't let me reinstall. I have been trying
to get a response form Tiny Software for a couple of weeks, now - to no
avail. Ironically, I was probably going to purchase it. But I wanted to
delete it first to try some other things. Their lack of response on this
problem has soured me on the company.

Although I'm not afraid of using regedit, I prefer something like regcleaner
for the efficiency. It can find things that I would not think to look for on
my own. Is there something for x64 that is decent?

Also, I presume that you don't have any further info about the two instances
of msiexec?

Re: Still have Windows Installer problem
 

Sorry, I don't. When I had a problem with an install of an upgrade to .net
in XP, I went thru the techs to resolve. It involved many steps due to a
msi object problem which required numerous steps including some registry
alterations (right click on a key and see and change authorizations, change
other parameters, etc) and some key data alterations and some deletions to
get the msi properly oriented. Don't guess that Tinyfirewall will be that
cooperative to someone who is trying to uninstall it, since if you buy it
you will be able to install over.

Re: Still have Windows Installer problem
 

Regedit and Regcleaner are not even the same kind of thing. Regcleaner is
useless for the kind of problem you are dealing with. It's not like the
registry entries you need to deal with are malformed or invalid.
