Hi all,
I would really appreciate some help.
I seem to have a problem with my Windows Installer. Ever since the 18/12/08 the following error appears in my Event Viewer for MsiInstaller:
Failed to connect to the server Error: 0x8007041D.
I have tried to reinstall the Installer but it doesnt appear to work because my computer keeps coming up with the error:
The Windows Install Service could not be accessed. This Can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly instaled. Contact your support personnel for assistance.
I've looked at my system restore and on the day when the error messages started there was a restore point made before the computer automatically updated and installed:
Software Distribution Service 3.0
Windows XP KB954600
Windows XP KB956802
Windows XP KB957097
Windows XP KB955069
Windows XP KB958644
So im wondering is it worth while to restore my system to just before and seeing if it helps- and ignore the request to install the programs again or is there anything else I should try first?
Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated!
