Occasionally the Windows Installer can encounter problems which cause it to not function right. This will often lead to the inability to install (or uninstall) computer programs. These error messages and codes sometimes appear as: * "The Windows Installer Service Could Not Be Accessed" * "Windows Installer Service Couldn't be Started" * "Could Not Start the Windows Installer Service on Local Computer..." If you have run into one of these error messages, you will need to repair the messed up install of Windows Installer. You can handle this yourself, but if you are no computer expert it might be a little overwhelming. If you are uncomfortable repairing it on your own, you can call a repair guy or take your PC to the location where you purchased it and speak with the IT team (at Best Buy this is called the Geek Squad and a Circuit City it is known as Firedog). A simpler, an much cheaper choice, is to run a Registry repair software like Registry Mechanic. This type of software will conduct a scan (at no cost normally) and identify issues with your windows registry that may be interacting with your Windows installer ability to operate. If the software finds problems, you can decide whether or not to buy it to repair the error and get your Windows Installer up and running correctly. Many error messages on your PC may be caused by issues in your Windows registry. The longer you have a computer, the more and more software and apps are installed and/or removed from your hard drive, which can often bog down your system. If only a few of the codes and data in the registry disagree with one and other, they can cause errors and problems - similar to this Windows Installer error. There are many programs on the market today capable of solving this problem. To find the one for you, simply visit your favorite software review or download site and read customer reviews. You can also go to trusted magazines like PC Magazine and see if they have a recommended choice. A few of the more popular software programs include Registry Mechanic, RegCure, Registry Fix and Error Doctor. As discussed earlier, just about all of these programs offer a demo version so you can test them out before you have to make a buying decision.
