Every time I run the setup file of PASW Statistics 18 (SPSS 18) on Win7 Ultimate (32 bit), I get the following message: "Error 1719. Windows Installer service could not be accessed. ..." As far as I know Win7 uses Windows Installer 5 which is not yet redistributable to the public. Could anyone help please?

Hi, I would like to confirm that can you install other programs?I would like to suggest you refer to the following link to troubleshoot the issue. http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/vista-the-windows-installer-service-could-not-be-accessed/ Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice.

Sorry for the bump, but I'm having this issue, been following the directions on the link posted above, except I've hit a snag. The second step i have to do it "b. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, expand SYSTEM, expand CurrentControlSet, expand Services, and then click MSIServer." The only problem is that I don't have a folder named CurrentControlSet, I've got one called CurrentControlSet001, CurrentControlSet002 and CurrentControlSet003. Any idea what I should do? Modify just one? Modify all 3? Hi, The similar issue may have different cause. You’d better submit a new thread to ask your question. This will help you fix the issue effectively.
