Windows Installer is not Correctly Installed

Error message when you try to add or remove a program on a computer that is running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003: "The Windows Installer service could not be accessed":

This was the error message I had received.

"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. Contact your support personnel for assistance."

I was not able to install any application on this Dell Latitude D620 Laptop.

Modified the registry file and registered the MSIexec.exe file as described in the Microsoft site link mentioned above.

All application which was queued up for installation started to install during startup.

Cheer mate......

Nice feeling when you accomplish something ;-)
