Steve I hope this "Fix it " solution works. :o) Thank you either way*. I used MSI Windows Cleanup Utility to remove Net ad now I am not exactly certain as to how to re-install or if Windows Updates will automatically do this? One article said to go to : heck I think I've got it ! I hope, c/ya...... But just in case I do not I'll be back w/you.*
it's a good read with many good answers but as always the thread gets waayyy too confusing, best advise is to start a new question then someone can help without all the confusion.
Thanks Steve, fixed it.
This did not work for me. I got the message that the 'Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur of the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance'. Did the above question ever get answered?
