I'm new to this forum. I'm having a desktop with vista business 32 bit. today i tried o install a software, it was interupted and it gives an error message as windows installer could not be accessed.

Does the Vista have SP1? If not there was a tool on MS site called something like Windows Installer Cleanup Tool. My issue was I would run certain programs and it would ask me if I wanted to install them(they were already installed but Windows installer was messed around.)

Just google for that cleanup tool if you don't have SP1.

delphin,

'ipconfig /all' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

dolphinopera,

My guess is correct. Some programs will call installer through command line. If command prompt cannot access the installer, u will receive that error msg. I experienced the same a month before.

Go to this thread follow the screen shots and paste the following in path variable value


%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\.


Let me know the result.
