Windows 7: Windows Installer Stopped Working
On Windows 7, when running a installer, you may get a dialog saying that “Windows® Installer Has Stopped Working”. This is caused by the “Customer Experience Improvement Program” and only happens every so often. The fix is easy, however.
Step 1: Open regedit (Start –> regedit (type in “Search Programs and File” box and hit enter) )
Step 2: Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions]
Step 3: Delete everything in that “folder” except “(Default)”. Final result should look like:
Step 4: Close regedit and try install again
Other websites say that you should disable the “Customer Experience Improvement Program”, however I would keep it running, as it is vital to Windows 7 development and is fairly useful. I’m working on a batch script that you can run that should save you the hassle, but in the meantime, follow the above steps.
Update: If you want to make a batch script or similar, run “reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /va /f” (no quotes) as an Administrator.
I hope that helps!

יש לי בעיה אני נכנס לregedit ומגיע עד ל sqmclinet ואז אין שום תקיות שאפשר לפתוח
Windows 7 is much better than Windows Vista when it comes to performance. i like Windows 7 just like Windows XP
i just installed Windows 7 on my PC. i just hope that it is as stable as Windows XP.

Valuable info. Lucky me I found your web site accidentally, and I’m surprised why this twist of fate did not happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
I am curious to find out what blog platform you’re working with? I’m having some small security problems with my latest website and I’d like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any suggestions?
