Hi, this is fabiodriven's girlfriend. I am having issues with windows installer. It keeps giving me error 1719. I tried a million things to fix it and none have worked. I am running Win XP with Service Pack 3. My windows installer keeps giving me Error 1719,The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. I have tried reregistering the windows installer and reinstalling the windows installer. When I try to reinstall, it says that I have a version that is newer than the one I am trying to reinstall (I downloaded the file from Microsoft Help and Support.) Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kerri

I take it you aren't doing a clean install and just upgrading...if so, try burning the file to a disc. leaving in the drive, and hitting restart.

during the first parts of booting, hit f10 and boot from disc.

should handle it.
