I was getting the message: The Windows Installer Service Could not be
Accessed.
This can occur if you are in safe mode of if the windows installer is
not properly installed.

I went to the following KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315346

I found 2 msiexec.exe file one in windows system32 and one in SP2.

I followed step 2 and went to regedit and changed the location to be
the SP2 location (the previous location looked like (((Value/// My
Doc's)))

Then I brought up safe mode hitting F8 and proceeded with step 3.
but when I tried to run misexec /regserver. It said it could not be
found. I tried restarting the computer again but when I hit F8 It
would not go back in to safe mode. it aksed me if I wanted to boot up
from DVD or floppy. either brought me back to my regular boot up.

My windows installer still does not work and I am worried that I can't
get into safe mode.

Should I do some sore of revert drive?
