Adobe Reader corupted MSI service.

Hi Les_Wood,

can you boot into safe mode and completely remove adobe if its still there

also try running sfc /scannow if its corrupted any system files

Cheers!

Boot in to safe mode is a problem, as I manage the system remotely, I did run sfc /scannow and it reported no errors.

is adobe still sitting in the add /remove list?

Yes it is still in the add/remove list.  If I attempt to remove it, I get the error message "Windows installer service could not be accessed.  This can occur is you are running in safe mode or if the Windows installer was not correctly install.  Contact your support person for assistance.

I check out the web site for tune-up.com and the product on the web site does not list Windows 2003 R1 as a support OS.  I will go through your links to see if any of them help.
