WHO IS this TRUSTED INSTALLER?
There is no explaination of his/her identity in the properties and I'm usually locked out of the files owned by this user...AND why does he block me out of suddenly newly appointed executionable programs that just appear in my processes? They are usually
suspicious looking so I look at the properties and I'm locked out (even though I am an administrator) so I must go through the sometimes un-nerving process of changing ownership and/or deleting "him"...if the process was explained in the properties
a little better, this would help. These things get in/past my private firewall daily and it bothers me. Too much spying crap going on. And ever time I run a malwarebytes scan there is ALWAYS a search file from IE that pops up as a PUP. I
don't even use IE at all and I've blocked it in my firewall (?why? who the H is speedbit and do search and why do they change or infiltrate my startpage search engine???) due to my mistrust in the privacy I get when using them. All of the trojans, worms,
spyware and malware have come directly from Microsoft. Why is that and why don't they require my permission to install programs and processes on my computer...and, no they are not coming from updates.
please address this question clearly and directly and honestly as I'm quite tired of the deception I feel is going on between my computers operating system and my protective programming I'm suppose to feel safe with.
Thank you for your reply Lewis but yes, I am daily aware of everything going on in regards to new programs, processes etc. I have Norton Insight and online protection, use malwarebytes and PrivateFirewall. I have seen AVG try to install itself
through stealthmode applications but caught it. I never install anything from 3rd parties and always verify the site before using it. (ie Adobe updates for instance, I never check the McAvee box nor do I accept toolbars or any ASK products etc
etc). Verifiable ? when the Norton or Malwarebytes detail screen shows the name of the PUP it will show the path as well and this is how I know where it came from. Usually an IE search program which is really sneaky because I do not even
use IE yet it gets in anyway.
My question at hand though is who is this TrustedInstaller and can I edit him off of my properties to allow myself access without it affecting my computer. I usually notice him/her as owner of MS products that are in the hidden mode and have a lock
on the icon. I often notice them when they appear suddenly in a process that wasn't there previously (ie: SPI32.EXE OR SPA.EXE WHICH IS SPEEDBIT SEARCH ENGINE FOR IE) GOOGLE is getting to be the same way in so far as introducing new programs
and processes that are not requested or scheduled...Sorry Lewis but I come from a different generation and have seen the days of respect and privacy and understanding and I believe these companies just assume my generation are too uninvolved to notice.
You need to be more assertive with your questions and concerns maybe. Don't let anyone just tell you "it's ok, that just the way it is" ASK WHY!!!!

GETTING RID OF TRUSTED INSTALLER DELETING FROM REGISTRY
I tried to answer to another thread with a similar title and it has been locked..I wonder why? Of course not is obvious,Microsoft is peeved off.
The post started with this :
Has ANYBODY found an effective and easy-to-understand way to disable (decapitate, exterminate, disembowel) windows 7 'TrustedInstaller'?? This has to be, by FAR, one of the WORST devices MS has ever come up with. I wouldn't even be aware of it's existence,
if it had not been for it turning my OS processing into peanut butter sludge on so many occasions. And now, it appears to be interfering with adding legitimate 3rd party procedures and add-ons. It is a gargantuan CPU SUCK, and it doesn't appear to accomplish
ANYTHING that couldn't be accomplished w/ a combination of Win DEFENDER and UAC permissions. I did hear somebody comment, on another forum, that it "protects your system from making damaging changes to itself....blah, blah". Well, a howitzer will probably
be effective at killing flies, too, but is that the approach you want to take? What bothers me is that the PINHEAD who came up with this one, is probably kicking it in a plush MS office right now, and WORSE YET, will probably be making FUTURE decisions on
OS's. (Yeah, just when you thought the fun was over....)
This 'trusted installer' is a disease, and it is about time that Microsoft DID THE RIGHT THING by their customers and came up with an appropriate fix! But while we are waiting for Microsoft to do the right thing (I'm sure there's no hurry there....!) Is there
ANY way to terminate this process?? And I mean 'terminate...with EXTREME prejudice'.
Gratitude in advance to anyone who can help
( By someone calling themselves smccfly007)
I TOTALLY AGREE with this person.
Now I want to ask,what would happen if I delete trusted installer.exe from the registry? Would I automatically gain access to the programs this thing takes control of?
I mean it is stopping me from moving Notepad to my desktop,for years I had windows vista and I have always had the notepad on my desktop....if I try to put a shortcut of Notepad on the desktop is telling me that I need permission from trusted installer.YOU
GOTTA BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!! This is just another feature of freaking BigBrother is Watching you!
It annoys me that some clever big wigs think adding this features is clever or of any use....another symptom of why this world is upside down.
SERIOUSLY if anyone at all can provide me with a real solution to this please come forward,I ain't a computing expert so need step by step explanation but.......I want rid of this freaking virus.
Like mr 007 which post I pasted above any help will be greatly appreciated.
By the way I am a lady.So apparently you did not read the post very well. Trusted installer is stupid at best. Before windows 7 this was not a thing and computers all over the world did not end....... I do not have a tried an true way cutting out this tumor that is keeping from
deleting things like background pictures how ever here are the steps to taking control over the stupid thing. It sucks I know but better slow than windows getting to do what it wants.
1. Go to the folder that contains the file or Folder whose ownership you want to change.
2. Right Click of mouse on that file or Folder and Choose “Properties“.
3. Navigate to “Security”
tab.
4. Click on “Advanced” on
the Security tab to open the Advance security setting for the file.
5. On the Owner ; Click on “Change“.
6. Click on “Advanced” on
the open “Select User or Group” Window.
7. Click on “Find Now” on
the open Window.
8. It will show you all the available user on the Search results.
9. Now select the user that you want to give the ownership and click on “OK“.
10. Again Click on “OK” on
the “Select User or Group” to change the ownership.
11. Now the Ownership for that file or folder is changed.
12. Now apply all the changes and Click on OK and close all the open Window.
13. That is it.
Again I am sorry it is only a treatment not a cure.
BTW if you are going tell us about what its purpose is WE DON'T CARE. we lived fine without it before and now it is just causing stupid problems.
I will keep looking and let you know what i come up with. -

When Upgrading on my laptop from iTunes 10.2.11 to 10.5.0 the message I get is: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or pacakge vendor.
After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end. Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
Great work everyone who contributed! Thank you very much! -

'There is a problem with this Windows installer package'
iTunes won't install. I keep getting the following message midway through installation;
'There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.'
It all happened a while ago when iTunes tried to update, it crashed straight after initiating the download so I closed it down. Upon opening iTunes again it would just keep crashing so I decided to uninstall iTunes altogether and reinstall the latest version.
Now I'm met with this message every time I try and install the **** thing, I followed the series of troubleshooting like uninstalling all the iTunes files and quicktime ones then trying to reinstall, I tried clearing my AppData Temp folder then reset and tried again and got the same error, then I tried running the windows clean up utility (Which when I ran I found iTunes wasn't present).
I'm completely at a loss can ANYONE please help me? I assume theres a corrupted file somewhere from the original crash but the case is where and what can I do to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.If all the basics have failed try deep cleaning the registry and by that I mean
using regedit to "find" every iTunes ,quicktime etc key and reference and delete them this will then give you a machine that has never seen iTunes.
Why do this because iTunes and the other attendant programs leave legion of entries that are not removed by any cleaner I have found .The repeated updating and or installing of iTunes creates this detritus that has confused an installation usually the point at which you post here.This is nothing new in Windows other software vendors have realised this problem and for instance Norton
have a tool that removes all evidence of their AV installation in fact you run it twice to be 100% when having problems with an installation.Until Apple produce a similar tool this is the only way I have come across to solve the multiple
problems users find However to be fair millions of users update itunes every week and have no problems so the chances of it being Apple's fault are very very slim it is unfortunately likely to be an unfortunate combination of issues as mentioned above
BUT if you do not understand regedit do not attempt it get someone who does to help -
How do i contact someone who can troubleshoot my installation?
how do i contact someone who can troubleshoot my installation?
I have a 3yr old HP running Windows 7. For a class in Powerpoint the school allowed me to download MS Office 2013. In a exercise to embed a video from YouTube it said I needed an Adobe Flash video plugin so I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 3 times with a reboot before the last time. Each time the same message came up. I initially reached out to this forum to see if there was a phone number for Adobe. Since the clock is ticking for when the assignment is due I hired the Geek Squad to troubleshoot. After optimizing my PC this is the message they ended up with after 6 hrs of work.
11:09 PM Agent Tyler A.: As none of the other agents who are on currently are able to offer further steps to resolve this, I'd recommend you reconnect in the morning or bring the computer into your local Best Buy. Also we may need to remove and reinstall office leaving only one version on here (you have 2007 and 2013) as well, so please have your product keys ready. Aside from this issue your computer is fully optimized and up to date! Thank you for using Geek Squad Online Support. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with and know that we are here for any future issues you may have. You may close this box to end your session which will bring up a survey page regarding your experience with me. Any comments are appreciated!
I am hesitant to bring it in since I don't know how long it would take to re-install and I kind of feel they didn't know what else to suggest. I am obviously at a point of frustration and don't have a clue as to why this is such an issue. Is it Adobe, is it MS, all are guesses. Forums aren't my favorite which is why I hoped for a live rep. -
Trusted installer hassle solved
This post is about my ultimately successful struggle to cope with Vista's multi-layer security system, the "Trusted Installer" scheme, which creates infuriating barriers to managing files on your own dang computer. I just got my first Thinkpad, a T400, and am delighted with it even though it is my first experience with Vista. I am annoyed at Lenovo, however, for sticking a trial version of Office 2007 on it. I have a perfectly good license for Office 2003. Removal of Office 2007 seemed to go smoothly and quickly enough but of course uninstalling software rarely removes every file. Sure enough, when I tried to install Office 2003, the installation quickly generated "Error 1913"--the installer was unable to revise a system32 file, mapisvc.inf that I'm pretty sure was left over from the Office 2007 installation. I tried to delete or rename the file myself and discovered I couldn't. I didn't have ownership of it. "Trusted Installer" had ownership of it and it wasn't obvious how to get control of it myself. Turning off UAC doesn't do it. Shutting down the "trusted installer" service is NOT the way to go. Its difficult and I've read that if you succeed, you will be unable to install any Windows updates.
Here's a site that tells you how to assert control over a file "owned" by Trusted Installer:
http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/how-to-take-ownership-and-full-control-permissions-of-files-and-fold...
Once I renamed the file, effectively deleting it, the Office 2003 installation continued without a hitch. No doubt this comes up for other Lenovo customers from time to time.
Lenovo, you would do us all a favor if you gave the option of getting our hard drives clean along with an OS installation disk. Or at least give us the option of ordering a clean installation of the OS with nothing else added on.JAmez
Unsure what OS you have but bing desktop, and search can be removed from programs & features if you are in win 8. Tell us the OS will will tell yo how

Who should I trust to rebuild my iphoto library
I live in Honolulu. I have time machine backup and somehow lost my library and my import doesnt have all the faces, event and many many duplicates. I want a professional to fix it. who should I trust?
You don't need a professional. You can do it yourself. Assuming you are running iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database followed by Option #1 if needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download the demo version of iPhoto Library Manager and launch .
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3 Design Premium. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem, or is there a compatibility problem with the OS?
I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that. -
