Subject: XP SP3: Windows Installer not working
After completing the installation of XP SP3 and the necessary restarts I am
unable to install any new software that uses the Windows Installer. Also
tried re-registering per the KB and restarting to have it work properly but
no luck.

Everytime I restart the windows installer installation always runs, the
event viewer shows no issues.

Any advice please

You mean installations are OK if you start the Windows Installer Service
manually?

The Windows Installer Service should be set to Auto.

The Windows Installer Service is set to Manual by default.  If it is not
starting when it is called by another program then something else is wrong.

If you go to Windows Update, there is a NEW Installer waiting
for you to download.

Trying to install even after manually starting the service fails.

Going to the WindowsUpdate site sends me on an endless loop of choosing teh
express or custom install and 'Register or reinstall the files for me now
(Recommended)' selection.

If I go to the Windwos Installer Service, select the dependencies tab it
shows error 'Interface: Class not registered'

I may need to go the SP3 uninstall route.

I'm lost.  I'm having the same issue, and have tried the Windows Update but
see nothing regarding a new installer.  I also attempted a System Restore
going back to the day prior to installing SP3 with no luck.  Any other ideas?

Don't know...after I installed XP - SP 3, the Windows Update HAD
a new installer version, which I downloaded and it was
installed. I seem to recall that is was bundled with another
update. I always read the details lest I get something that I
have previosly hidden. Anyway, Windows Downloads had a copy
there as well. Try there and do a search for it , but it should
be on their listing..

I had the exact same problem this morning, when I rebuilt after a nasty
little virus.

I've found a potential solution at:
'Basement Blog - Office Update problem after XP SP3 Install'
(http://www.neurophys.wisc.edu/comp/blog/)

I'm at work so haven't tried it yet, but I hope it helps!
