Installer service???

message from Paul Anton on 10 Jun 2004
My wife is running XP Home on her Dell computer. When an installation is
attempted, the error message "Windows Installer Service is not available"
appears.

I have been unable to find any help when on a search of the knowledge base.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Paul Anton

Posting the same shìt twice, doesn't make you twice as smart!
