Windows 7 Modular Installer has stopped working
I am receiving a recurring pop up window indicating that, "Windows Modular Installer Has Stopped Working". I have tried to restore, I have tried CC cleaner, I have tried to rebuild the update database by turning off the update scheduler, deleting the files in \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore directory, and restarting the scheduler to no avail. Seems to be a problem with others with Vista but I'm using Windows 7 with a clean install. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Hi, I would like to suggest you run System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 first. If it does not work, I also would like to suggest you perform the following steps: Rename Repository folder ====================== 1. Click “Start” button, type “cmd” (without the quote) in the search box. 2. On the program results list, right click the “cmd.exe” and choose “Run as administrator”. 3. In the command window, type the following commands and press Enter, one by one. Net Stop Winmgmt CD /D %Windir%\system32\wbem Ren Repository Repository.old Net Start Winmgmt 4. Restart the computer. Does it work?Arthur Li - MSFT

No such luck Arthur. I ran system update and it downloaded a Hotfix. I also renamed the repository folder but same old stuff. My only solution has been to turn off the automatic update. Other than that, I'll have to reload windows. I've never had so many problems with software as i have with windows 7. It's as bad as Vista.
