Windows 7 - Windows Installer crashes upon start up!? -

Any applications based on Windows Installer (For example: Steam) crash upon load. I have tried compatibility modes, rebooting, everything - to no avail. I have done some googling and found it may be related to a Registry cleaner (Namingly CCleaner) may have removed the necessary files to operate Windows Installer. So my question is: How do I fix this? Does anyone have a fix for this?

ey, look at this link http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/01/19... i did that of rename a file at the registry and it works. Now i can open Windows Update and Install programs based on Windows Installer.

hi xevon, what your problem is that when you set up a windows that has you already streamed to what you are running like music or windows although it does not show it but to fix what has went wrong with your computer in your search hit startgt;programsgt;accessoriesgt;system tools scrol down to system restore there you will see a calender hit the first lit number to your left then your system will begin to restore then reboot. this has backed up your system hopefully before you searched and corrupted your computer setup if it hasn t then reboot when you see your windows logo start tapping f8 this will bring you to a safe mode screen scrol down to last good configuration when my system acted correctly (advance) this should have fixed your system. good luck hope i was helpful to you

It s basically to do with the Customer Experience Improvement Program. When that is enabled, it causes msiexec to crash. Alternatively it can be done in the registry like a user mentioned below. I used the registry option and it worked for me.

Windows 7 is not yet at release and possibly you are using Beta ,thus its obvious that u may face lot problems.Latest !=Better(always)

start regedit navigate to (HKLM\Software\ Microsoft\SQMClient\ Windows\DisabledSessions) rename MachineThrottling to _MachineThrottling

I ve got your very same problem, also windows update is not working (it finds updates but fails to install them)

Fabrizio s Registry answer did the trick for me.
