Windows Installer Does Not Work

I tried, but I get a message stating "Windows Script Host Is Disabled On This
Machine". How do I correct that?

Thanx Rick

Made an error in the message I get when trying to download the installer. The
error message reads: Windows script host access is disabled on this machine.

Hello,
What is the exact error message you are getting when Windows Installer does
not work?
Have you tried system restore?
Thanks,

Darrell, the exact error message I get is this: The Windows Installer Service
could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not
correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.

That is the error message. As stated in previous posts, I can not get the
cleanup utility to work either.

Hello,
Could you get me the system registry hive? Compressed of course.
how big is it after compression?
c:\windows\system32\config\system ( back this file up, and compress it. let
me know the size)
What it the date on the system files in the following folder
c:\windows\system32\config\system32\regback
There should be a system and a system.old file in there
What are the dates on those files?

Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
