I got the problem of Windows Installer for a long time,please give me ALL the possible solutions,THANKS.

Windows XP cannot start "Windows Installer" service (Error 1067)
I don't know the reason. I tried many methods to solve the problem but not successed. This problem makes me unabled to install any other games or softwares that is relative to Windows Installer.
Yesterday, I got another problem with Windows Installer. I have nothing to do.....There is a Windows Installer window "Preparing to install" when I run any programmes that is relative to explorer.exe
This window must load a long time, otherwise the program cannot be started. Here are the methods I tried to solve the problem:

1. Update to Windows Installer 3.1 (Version 2)

2. Install all avalible Windows Update components

3. Update all InstallShield Script (Version 9-11) and also latest InstallShield engine

4. Unregister Windows Installer, and then reregister Windows Installer.

5. Empty user and system "Temp" folders to install Windows Installer again

6. Check correct DCOM, system and registry permissions (I have logged as administrator)

7. Check that the installation path length and environment variables length are not execute 255 characters

8. Check system32\msiexec.exe and system32\msi.dll for the latest (3.1 Version 2) version

If I tried to install Windows Installer again, the problem reamains existed. This problem seriously affects my general operations and works.Again, please help me to solve this, THANKSx1000!~

Hi and Welcome to TSF

Windows Installer Issues

Run the edit on line 94: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and/or:

Go to Start/Run and type in:
msiexec /unregister [click ok]

Then Start/Run and type in:
msiexec /regserver [click ok]

If neither of the above has helped: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer

Does the image path in the right pane correctly point to: (modify drive letter as needed)
C:\Windows\System32\Msiexec.exe /V

If not: boot into safe mode and then go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: msiexec.exe

Once done and while still there type in: msiexec /regserver
Check the image path again, if it is now present, reboot.
