Windows installer service error 1719

[Dantzeil]

Hi all, I have been experiencing the windows installer service error 1719 for a few months now everytime i try to install a program. I cant even properly update my windows 7 updates anymore. Each time i try updating, almost all of the updates would show me "update failed" when I restart. This is getting very frustrating. I have googled and tried many suggested solutions such as using regedit from error 1719 windows installer service could not be accessed .... - Microsoft Community

Nothing has been working so far though. However, I am suspecting that it might be due to me adding a new hard disk a few months before. My old hard disk was failing (at startup they told me its health was poor) and so i added a new one. I am a total newbie at installing the hard disk and i made it replace the old hdd as the main hard disk. I am not entirely sure that i did it smoothlessly and might have screwed up some stuff along the way leading to the error 1719. I am considering doing a clean install but im not sure how to go about doing it since there are two hard disks. Im not even sure if it will solve the problem after all the effort.

Can anyone please give me some advice? I will be very grateful even if it doesnt help. Thanks guys!

Let's start by confirming the Installer service is set correctly

Start> In search box type services.msc> Enter> Confirm the Windows installer service is set to automatic, and started

Now confirm the Dependencies are also set correctly

Start> In search box type services.msc> Enter> Confirm the Dependencies in this screenshot are all set to Automatic, and Started

If not, change them to Automatic, and Start them and try a MSI again.

If they are all set correctly, or no change, lets try these commands

Start> In search box type cmd> Right click on cmd.exe in results above and choose Run as administrator> When the command prompt opens, type

%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister

Enter

%windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister

Enter

%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver

Enter

%windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver

Enter

Restart your PC and test again

If no help, try to re-register the MSI service

Windows key + R> In the run box type net start MSIServer> Enter

If no success, try the above again, but in Safe Mode
