We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 box where we are trying to install the HyperV agent components. When running:

msiexec /i vmmAgent.msi

We get the follwing error:

The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. 
This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows 
Installer is not correctly installed.  

Attempted Fixes:

Microsoft KB's 315353,324516,315346

 sfc /scannow

Resulted with: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations

Tried to use Dial-A-Fix but glu32.dll is not installed on the system

Have you verified the service is running? Try net start MSIServer and see what happens. – murisonc Nov 17 '11 at 21:01
