I bought a new HP desktop that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium SP1 (64bit). It worked fine for a week and now when I try to update or install any new program, system gives me the following error:
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
I thought re-installing Windows installer will fix the problem. Hence I downloaded the same and when went to install, I get this: "The update does not apply to your system".
As I have ran out of the ideas, I gave a last try by running the System File Checker (SFC /scannow) but no help yet. Can anyone of you provide working solution for this ?
