Worked for me right after I renamed the key MSIServer.

Thanks!

Adding a “MSIServer” key with default value “Service” in the registry (via regedit) and then “net start msiserver” on the command line fixed it for me!

In the post of “Sam Cranford”, there is a little error in part: “then name it MSIService”. The correct is name to “MSIServer”. If you tape the msiservice and try to start the service using “net start msiserver” the windows will return the error 1084 “the service cannot be started in the safe mode”. if you put the msiserver and try to start the windows installer will start sucessfully.
