Re: trial won't install_ windows web installer error
OK, in english the error is
Quote:
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance (1601).
Please help because I need to use this program :mad:
Note that this is a problem of the Xara/Magix installer (probably copy protection stuff) since my Windows Installer works without problems. I can install other programs by right-clicking on their *.msi files and choosing "Install".
Re: trial won't install_ windows web installer error
I think its more likely to be a problem with an aborted/failed install/uninstall somewhere along the line - you can open a support ticket with Xara on their website [you need to log into your account first]
Re: trial won't install_ windows web installer error
Have done that already! But I can't really wait for days until they MIGHT come up with an idea, so...
Re: trial won't install_ windows web installer error
to be honest I don't think you are going to get a snap answer to this - my personal preferred option in circumstances like this is to go back to a restore point [or in may case a backup image] and see if it works - if I go back far enough it will and then I trace through and work out what I did, or the system did, to cause the problem - that takes time and a fair bit of familiarity with the system - and a log of what system changes I have made, which I keep, helps
error messages don't always reflect the cause of the problem too, that's in the nature of the beast, so without access to the computer its a tad speculative, sorry - googling around might throw something up, or a visit to microisoft tech forum with regard to the error message and code
I suppose you could try registry cleaning - if you do, make sure you use a recognised and safe cleaner

Ha! :eek:
well I think that unlikely if other programs will install - but you never know :D
Re: trial won't install_ windows web installer error
actually, looking at the blurb 1601 might be a system error code as per here:
