  3. Windows Installer Service issue - Vista 64bit

    Looking like I have an issue with my Windows Installer Service (Vista 64bit Home Premium). Certain programs are unable to install properly, one of these being the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    Anyone know the steps on how to repair it, if it is at all possible?
    I am looking at this thread:

    http://www.vistax64.com/vista-insta...ows-installer-service-vista-all-versions.html

    but would like to get some more opinions before I try that. I would also need the following from the registry of a Vista 64bit :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msiserver


    I will save a copy of my current registry with Crap Cleaner before doing any of this. Incase it causes more issues, all I have to do is double click on my backed up registry and it should import itself, correct?

    I would really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

    Windows Installer Service is not working – Unable to install any .msi files

    Unable to install any OS

    Hi guys, I'm unable to install any OS. I tried ubuntu and got input/output error, tried installing window 7 error 0x80000010.

    Downloaded iso's of both again and again still same result. Got a new SSD still the same, tried a different usb still the same.

    I'm fed up, have been trying since the past 1 month still am unable to install.
    I've listed my specs in my profile.

    PS Have even tried/changed my ram.
    Where the pug is the problem ?

    I have been using live usb to work on computer for now but I need a permanent OS.
