Hi, Please check the Default Domain Policy to see if there is any Windows Installer related policy is setup. Here are the detailed steps: 1. Change the start type of the Windows Installer service in Default Domain Policy, from Automatic to Manual mode. a) Open GPMC.msc b) Go to the Default Domain Policy c) Click on Edit d) Got to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\System\Services\Windows Installer and change the startup up type to Manual 2. Do a gpupdate /force on the DC. 3. Reboot. 4. Check if the startup type of the Installer Service is set to Manual 5. Run msiexec /regserver 6. Test to start the Windows Installer service again.

Hi, We are not implemented any kind of group policy related to windows installer. Till yesterday it was working fine suddenly we got this probelm.

Hi, As it is not caused by group policy, please refer following steps to re-register dll files of WMI and CCM Client: Open CMD, type in the following commands one by one: cd %windir%\System32\WBEMfor /f %s in ('dir /b /s *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %sfor /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof *.mfl') do mofcomp %s The Above command will re-register all the WMI dll files in the windows registry. Then run the following commands: cd %windir%\System32\ccmfor /f %s in ('dir /b /s *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %sfor /f %s in ('dir /b *.mof *.mfl') do mofcomp %s Reboot to see the result. If there is any error occurs, or any new event log occurs, please write down and post here.

Hi,I believe WMI isn't working on your machine.Could you please run procmon trace while connecting to WMI locally on the box, and then look for Access Denied Results in the trace?Once you add up the required permission to the entry, I am sure you'll be able to get MSI fixed. ~Cheers Visit my Blog@ http://blog.helpforsure.info

Hi,Actually what are common reasons for why WMI is not work? or file got corrupt or services not work?

Common reason including file corrupt/missing, related registry missing/changed, no permission on registry etc. This article is provided by Santhosh: How to resolve Common "Windows Installer" Problems http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555175 You can have a test to install Windows Installer 4.5: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4&DisplayLang=en
