yicker124 Reply to yicker124 | 81 Tom, on Apr 21, 2009 11:18:29 am BSTHi...I'm having the same problem you had back in July 2008 and ran across these posts. I am trying to install iTunes version 8 and it says that my installer is missing a program needed to run. I was reading the posts that you had been making and the advice that you took but none of it worked for me. I'm running Windows XP with SP 3. Can you tell me how you solved your problem? I tried everything and now I cannot install new software on my computer. It's like having a disposable computer. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated.
Thank you...
Tom

| Hi, I tried rebooting in safe mode and typing in msiexec\regserver BUT it said cannot be found with the big letter X
First you must know that I do not have xp or 2000, I have windows vista 64bit. Please help I am trying to download windows installer but it keeps saying not enough storage. Reply to Prescious | 96 ch23, on Jun 21, 2009 1:41:54 am BSTThere was an error in the command. The correct command is msiexec (insert space) /regserver. This works in xp MCE 2005 with SP3, and it may also work for you. Thanks! Reply to ch23 | 97 midwestcubs, on Jun 25, 2009 8:58:02 pm BSTThanks...............................you, I had been trying everything for about two days to finally stumble on what you said and it worked. I had no space at first the I tried everything spaced and it didn't work. Until I did it this way. Thanks once again. My computer was a Toshiba 6100 laptop with Windows XP 2000 and 32bit.

| 42 dimv, on Dec 3, 2008 9:46:27 am GMTWow, after 2 hrs of trying all the other solutions (reinstalling and registering the installer) only this one did the trick.
GREAT thank you!
only now after installing the applications, there is an error message saying that the dll was not registered and the application will not work properly. Reply to dimv |
| 46 Chris n Georgia, on Dec 27, 2008 8:52:12 pm GMTWell I'm not sure if you still check this or not but I tried going in an activating the 'installer' on my crappy VISTA and then set it to automatic, rebooted etc....then typed in what you suggested for the error (Windows Installer...blah blah) and when I typed in what you suggested it took it but nothing visible happened....I've been trying to download itunes 8, just got a new ipod and it's been the cause of this whole issue....if you have any other advice, i'd appreciate it. Merry Christmas and hope 2009 is your best year yet...I'm not a computer savvy guy, stumbling around a bit. Any help is appreciated.

| 63 ziggy, on Jan 25, 2009 12:17:40 pm GMTThanks Jason. Trying to reinstall QuickTime. The message was always 'could not access Windows Installer Service'. Downloaded and installed the Service, to no avail. Your formula started the QuickTime installer. All then worked well. Thanks a lot. Reply to ziggy |
