What Happens When Windows Installer Not Working
When Windows Installer Service is not working, the following error message will be displayed:
Error Message 1: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
Error Message 2: The Windows Installer Service couldn’t be started.
Error Message 3: Could not start the Windows Installer service on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is denied.
The above error messages are most likely to be seen when installing, updating or uninstalling a program like iTunes.

Step 3: Click on “File”, select “Save As”, and select a location to save the file. Name the file as Misirepair.reg. Select “All Files” under “Save as type” then click “Save”.
Step 4: Go to the location where you saved the file and right-click on it, then select “Run as Administrator”. If you’re prompted to confirm your action, just do so.
After resetting Windows Installer Service registry, try and update/install iTunes again.
2. Start the Windows Installer Service

Step 1: Click Start and type CMD in the search bar.
Step 2: Find cmd.exe and right click on it. Choose Run as Administrator.
