(Error 1719) Windows Installer ServiceError

Thread needs solution

I'm trying to reinstall Acronis True Image Home 2010 and received Error Code 1719 - Windows Install Service not working. Using MSConfig, I found the Windows Installer to be shown as running okay. I disabled it, restarted the computer, enabled it, restarted the computer again, and again tried to reinstall Acronis True Image 2010 - received the same message. Could you please suggest how I may correct this and continue with the re-installation?

This is a Windows issue.

Try downloading a current version of the Windows Installer for your OS.

I guessing you have Windows XP, see this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25

No, I am using Windows 7 x64. However, I will attempt to find a replacement download for the Installer Service. Thank you for your reply. I will post the results. TD

The Windows Installer in Windows 7 is part of the Windows 7 OS, and can not be downloaded or installed separately.

I would suggest that you run the Windows System File Checker http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833 to verify your Windows OS files.

Be sure you have a current updated antivirus/antimalware package installed as well, as perform a scan to be sure you are virus free.

Also download a new copy of the 2010 installer from your Acronis account to eliminate a possible bad installation file.
