"Interactive Services Detection" message pop up every 5 minutes

Hi everyone

Well i have a small issue here. After a long research over the internet, i see that the only way to fix this, is to format disk or reinstall Windows. Well my computer is for company and i have many programs that will need to be reinstalled after a format or windows reinstallation, and this is a big problem. I recently tried to update "Nokia Multimedia Common Components". It suddenly stopped and said that it couldn't remove the old software, because Nokia Suit needed it. I click on "OK". Since then i have a pop up message, telling me that "A running service is trying to show me a message". Well the message is that it can't be installed. My problem is that i can't install other software because the current installation is running, looks like there is no way to stop this installation, delete this file, finish installation or just in some way put this program to background so i could install other programs or stop the annoying message.

If anyone can help me, i would really appreciate this.

Hi Ztruker

Thank you for your reply. Well, I actually tried this out, but you see, my PC says that this program is not even installed on System. When I try to uninstall “from uninstall a program” it says: “Another program is being installed. Please wait until the other program finish the installation”. But the program which is being installed is actually the one that I want to remove completely from my PC. When I log on in Safe Mode, the annoying massage is not appearing, but in “Uninstall a Program” says that the “Nokia Multimedia Common Components” is not properly installed so I can’t uninstall it.

By the way, thank you for your help!!!

Hi guys,

I figured out how to fix this problem.

1) Shutdown your PC
2) Start it again and click the F8 button multiple times, until the menu for Safe Mode etc. comes out.
3) Choose the first selection “Repair your Computer”
4) When the System recovery option appears choose “System Image Recovery”
5) If you see button “Load Driver” or “Advance” click on it
6) If you clicked on “Advance” then it will ask you if you want to load from internet or you computer
7) Choose the computer
8) In any way, you now should be able to see a window which shows your computer
9) Click on “Computer” on the left
10) Then go to Local Disk C\Windows\System 32 and search for the file MsiExec.exe
11) Now move this file to your desktop. MAKE SURE that this file is missing from the System 32 Folder
12) ATTENTION: when you click on “Load Driver” or “Advance” in step 5 and 6, the computer will probably navigate you to System 32 of Recovery Partition. There you will not be able to find the file that you need. So follow exactly the step 9 and 10.
13) That’s it. You are ready. Click everywhere “Cancel” and restart your PC.

This worked 100% for me. I don’t have annoying messages about interactive programs and I am able to install other software again.

Actually, it is not there anymore. I did the mistake, and removed it from my system. But if you move it on your desktop and after the reboot, you transfer it back to System 32 Folder, i am not sure if the problem will continue. In any way i can now install new softwares without getting Error 1500. If you can upload the msiexec.exe somewere and send me the link, i would really appreciate it.

Thanks

You are right. Looks like there are no problems. I recently updated Deamon Tools Light 4. And i had no problems. That means, you can follow those step above. In any case, If you modify your PC, always keep backups, they are really useful.

You could have done a System Restore to a time previous to this issue as well.

You are also right, but you see, there weren’t any system restore points, so I couldn’t restore it.
