Windows Installer Service Error 1719

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

By the way, since I wrote the initial message, I've done some more: I
reinstalled XP and got the same error. When I try installing the Windows
Installer Service updates, I get an error with the updatebr.inf file.

Still looking for help!

Thanks.

Kelly,

Thanks, tried your google search fixes, each one separately, in safe mode,
etc.

The files are there, they just won't let me load anything! Linux is
starting to sound like a good option at this point. :-(

I'll try the x64 user community first.

thanks,

Bill

All,

I believe the root of the problem is that no much software has been
certified with x64 Pro. Having said that, I'm reinstalling XP Pro standard
and will wait awhile for the software community to catch up.

thanks for assistance,

Bill
