I have tried and failed to install several software packages [Open Office and Eraser () to name but two] on a PC running with Windows XP, SP 2.
At some point in the installation process, I am confronted with the message:
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur ... if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed."
However, this does not happen with all software installations. For example, after the Eraser installation failed, I was able to install Simple File Shredder ().
Any ideas why I can install some but not all software?
Thanks
