Take care of another ‘msiexec’ file,
if any:
There could
be a chance that there is another copy of msiexec file in C:\Windows\system32 directory,
which should not happen. However, if there is an extra file, you can locate it and
rename the file with ‘.old’ extension. You can then, restart the Installer’s
service. Restart your system and see whether the problem has been fixed or not.
Change the settings of Remote Control
Procedure Call Service:
There could
be an issue with Remote Procedure Call. To fix this, you need to open ‘Services’
window by opening ‘run’ dialog box from ‘Start’ menu and then, type
‘services.msc’. Scroll down to locate Remote Procedure Call and not RPC
locator. Right click on it and go to ‘properties’ from the menu. Choose ‘Log
On’ tab and under ‘Local System Account’, select ‘Allow this service to
interact with the desktop’ radio button. Restart your system to check whether
the issue has resolved.
If it has
not resolved, select ‘This Account’ section and click on ‘Browse’ button to
navigate ‘Network Service’ and select ‘Ok’. This will fill in the detail
automatically and once it is done, you can restart the system and find whether
this time the problem has solved.
One of these fixes should help you out in such
a troubling situation and if it doesn’t, then do call for a technician or a
service centre.
