I have been following the suggested solutions to the problem I have, relating to the error message "Windows installer has stopped working..." One of the solutions I tried is as shown below:
Windows Installer - Simple Fix that worked for me.
________________________________________
All the complicated fixes I've tried even those from Microsoft did not work. This one below worked perfectly to repair Windows Installer issues:
HERE IS THE FIX THAT WORKED FOR ME : Start, then Run, then type regedit Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENT CONTROL SET\SERVICES\MSIserver\WOW64 Right click on WOW64, then select Modify Set Value Data to 0 (mine was set at 1) and Base should be Hexadecimal Close everything, reboot, and see if you can uninstall or re-install.
My problem: I can't see/find the WOW64 in the MSIserver. What should I do? Please help!
