, le il y a 1 année et 12 mois.Microsoft has just recently launched the Windows Installer Service, which could not be accessed and install windows on Windows XP. The version of the Windows Installer Service was designed to help out people who are not knowledgeable in computers or especially those that do not know how to install software on their systems. The Windows Installer Service would be able to run software that is not normally installed by just going through the installation process. The service is supposed to be able to create a new image for the hard drive of the computer and that new image could then be able to be booted up. Users would be able to then be able to use that new image to install the software that they want. The software that would be able to run this way through the Windows Installer Service would be called a Customized Image.
According to Microsoft Support, the Computer Manufacturer is no longer allowed to allow users to access the Win 7 Installer Service through the registry keys that it gives to the user. The reason for this is due to the fact that if the Customized Image is not a licensed product then it is considered a security threat. The installer could be used for several things and for any of these purposes the access from the registry keys will cause problems. If someone who is not knowledgeable about computers goes through the process of installing windows then they would get the idea that they can use the windows installer to install any kind of software. However the fact is that installing software on a computer does not work like this. It is only possible to install software from certain sources.
The software that is installed through the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed by the software that was installed through the Microsoft Direct X driver which would have allowed this to be installed. The windows installer would also have access to the default driver, which is the driver that is present on every computer that has a windows operating system. The Operating System could only be accessed if the original driver is removed and if the windows installer service was able to access the windows registry then they would be able to use the registry keys to install anything. The fact that Microsoft would consider it a security threat is something that should put everyone on edge since this service could not be accessed in the first place. Microsoft should look into this situation and if they are unable to rectify it then they should consider the removal of the Win 7 Installer Service which would affect those who did not even realize that they could not use the service.
