Windows Installer Error 1719

Windows Installer service could not be accessed. Contact your support personnel to verify that it is properly registered and enabled.

Don't you love errors that tell you to see "your support personnel"?

First, try the old faithful reboot; this error may be the result of an RPC error. If a reboot does not clear the RPC error, you have bigger problems than installing MSI packages!

Reregister the Windows Installer service by typing "msiexec /unregister" and then "msiexec /regserver" at the command line.

The System account should have "Full Control" permissions to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive of the registry.

Ensure the Windows Installer service is not disabled by typing "NET STOP MSISERVER" and "NET START MSISERVER" at the command line.
