Windows Installer

[skutr3]

Hey, I wasn't sure where to post this thread, but I was installing the latest Java Update when I got an error message saying that the installer service failed to load. I went to the services list and Windows installer wasn't there. I don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated.

I would probably try this first:

Also the actual executable is
msiexec.exe

You might search for it on your system(should be in C:\Windows\System32)

Before doing scannow it may be worth a shot to run this in an Administrator command prompt: sc start msiexec

and see if it comes up.
