SafeMSI.zip


In tip 9208, I explained the process for starting Windows Installer from a Safe Mode boot on Windows Server 2003.

Harry Bates (rocksystems@comcast.net), brings us SafeMSI.zip. Unzip the archive to SafeMSI.exe.

To use SafeMSI.exe when booted to Safe Mode on any version of Windows NT (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, etc..), just double-click or run it.

    It doesn't work on XP (virtual machine). Says it is running but when I try to uninstall a program in safe mode I get error message that windows installer service can't be run in safe mode.
