The Windows Installer launches everytime I try to open Access JSHARPFEWA 26.07.2006 19:41:02 Everytime I attempt to open an Access database or the actual program the Windows Installer launches. It says preparing to install, and then nothing happens. I have been unable to initiate the original Office 2003 Pro media that it came with as well. It had been fully functional until a SBS install and a Windows XP Pro Upgrade.

I've seen reports indicating that running this as an administrator fixes up the problem and you can run as a regular user thereafter.

Re: The Windows Installer launches everytime I try to open Access JSHARPFEWA 28.07.2006 13:02:01 Thanks Tony, I did try to launch under administrator to no avail. I read a few other sources that made me think that the Windows Installer might be corrupted. So, I downloaded Windows installer cleanup utility, unistalled the updates/changes to installer made by Office. Unistalled Office 2003 Pro completely, and then reinstalled it. It is now working fine.

Re: The Windows Installer launches everytime I try to open Access Elheffy 29.07.2006 17:18:01 I tried the Windows Installer and deleted the Office Pro changes, unistalled, reinstalled, but the issue remains. Can anyone identify the specific windows update file that may be causing this problem?

Re: The Windows Installer launches everytime I try to open Access Bill Ross 17.09.2006 02:09:01 D not instal SP2 for Office 2003. That is when I discovered the same problem. I uninstalled 2003 & XP then reinstalled XP, updated to latest SP-3 then Installed 2003 but only to SP-1 and all is OK. What a mess. -- Bill Ross Denver, CO "Elheffy" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I tried the Windows Installer and deleted the Office Pro changes, unistalled, > reinstalled, but the issue remains.
