Error 1719 while installing MS-Office 2003

Hi Mahesh,

This error can occur if the Windows Installer tool is damaged.

Here are ways to fix it:

1. Download and Install the latest version of the Windows Installer from Here

2. Check if Windows Installer is allowed to run:

•   Press Start > Run. Type: “msconfig” and press Enter
•   In the System Configuration Utility window, select Services tab
•   Check the box of Windows Installer if it isn’t.
•   Hit OK
•   Click Restart

3. Check if Windows Installer service is not disabled:

•   Press Start > Run. Type: “services.msc” and press Enter
•   In the list, under Services (Local), look for Windows Installer
•   Right-click it and select Properties
•   On the Startup type drop down, choose Manual if it’s set differently.

    Hit OK
    Exit Services

4. Re-register the Windows Installer:

•   Press Start > Run. Type: “%windir%system32” and press Enter
•   Take note of where the Msiexe.exe file is located.
•   Now, Press Start > Run.
•   Type regedit in the box and press Enter
•   Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services >MSIServer.
•   Inside MSIServer, right-click ImagePath and select Modify
•   In the window that popped-up, under Value Data, type the location of the Msiexe.exe where you opened earlier, and put /V at the end.

    e.g. C:WINDOWSsystem32msiexec.exe /V

•   Click OK and Exit the Registry Editor

5. Register the Msiexe.exe file:

•   Do the steps above
•   Restart your computer and as soon as it lights up hit F8 multiple times until you get to the Windows Advanced Options Menu.
•   Choose Safe Mode
•   Choose your operating system.
•   Login as the Administrator
•   Press Start > Run. Type: “msiexec /regserver” and press Enter
•   For 64-bit OS:

•   Type "attrib -r -s -h dllcache" and press Enter
•   Type "ren msi.dll msi.old" and press Enter
•   Type "ren msiexec.exe msiexec.old" and press Enter
•   Type "ren msihnd.dll msihnd.old" and press Enter
•   Type exit, and press Enter * In the command line, type exit, and press Enter
•   Reboot
•   Once logged in, download the newest version of Windows Installer from Here
•   Install it
•   Reboot

7. System File Checker – This process compares each operating system file with the ones from the on-disk cache. Then it replaces any missing or damaged ones. Have your Windows XP CD ready, System File Checker may need to check it too.

•   Click Start >Run then in the box type in “sfc /scannow” including the space.

Note: While SFC is running, it’s not advisable to have any programs running, until the scan is complete.

8. Registry Tweak: Windows Installer Fix

Link

•   Save the REG File from the above link. Double click it and select “Yes” to the import prompt.
•   If you want to know what’s inside the file, it can be viewed in a Notepad. Right click it and select Edit.

NOTE: If your anti-virus tells you of that the REG file is a virus or a malware, this is normal. Although, these REG tweaks can make changes to the System Registry, it is not a malicious software.

9. DCOM Permissions

•   Press Start > Run. Type: “dcomcnfg” and press Enter
•   In the Component Services window, click the + sign on Component Services and  Computers folder on the left side.
•   On My Computer, right click and choose Properties
•   On the My Computer Properties window, select the Default Properties tab.
•   Under the Default Authentication Level, select Connect
•   Under the Default Impersonation Level, select Identify
•   Hit OK

10. Check the Registry Permissions

•  Press Start > Run. Type: “regedit” and press Enter
•   Select HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, right click and choose Permissions.
•   Check if “SYSTEM” account is the Group or user names box
•   Check the Permissions for it below that. See if Allow is checked on all
•   If “SYSTEM” is not there, add it and Allow full permission.

    Do the same above steps with:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    HKEY_USERS
    HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

I hope one or a combination of these steps has helped you fix the problem. Good luck!
