I installed node.js to work on a discord bot with VSCode but it didn't work.
I reinstalled it but ticked the 'install chocolatey' box this time, halfway through the installation I got 3 trojan alerts from my AV, and cancelled the installation.
Since then, I have been unable to uninstall, repair or reinstall Node.JS, through the Windows 10 uninstall function or from the Node.JS .msi file.
Each time I try, I get the same error message:
"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."
I've removed all instances of Node.JS from my program files and %appdata%, I've ensure the Installer Service is running, and yet the Node.JS application still shows in the Uninstall Tool and when I try to uninstall / modify / reinstall, it shows the same error, and seems to think it's still installed on my system! Not even Node.JS commands work in my CMD!
I've got no idea how to fix this, and I don't want to use glitch anymore to write my bot, so please help- or it seem's I'll have to factory reset my PC and hope that resolves the issue.
Thanks in advance, guys.
Godspeed.
EDIT: I tried installing a newer version hoping it would overwrite old Node.JS files. Didn't work. Issue still occurring.
Do these:
Open command prompt as Administrator and run /sfc scannow. It will scan and replace corrupted files.
Restart your PC when the scan is done.

I had installed nodejs on Windows 10 Pro PC. The drive it was installed in failed and is no longer accessible. I sent it away for data recovery attempt, but it's now gone, not even connected.
I created a restore point and went to NodeJS site, downloaded the installer anew, and tried to re-install it.
The installer looks for that original installation and immediately responds: "Invalid Drive: O:" (the old location). It then immediately quits.
What can I do to re-install it? I can't uninstall it or do anything else (change, or repair). They all give the same message and quit.
Can I uninstall it from the command prompt? Or do a new installation that way?
You can try by editing the following registry value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Node.js
There you will find an InstallPath property. Rename the drive to a valid one and then try to install node again.
Also remove Node from your PATH variable
would anybody happen to know the latest versions that work together on Windows Vista? I've been back and forth trying to get the right combination together but ng new never works for some reason or another.
(this is the older post showing what I already tried)
I'm having a bit of a problem here. I attempted to update angular/cli and I got errors telling me I need to update my version of node. I have windows vista so I'm pretty much stuck with node 5.7 and npm 3.6 until I can afford a new computer.
I tried uninstalling angular and clearing the cache and installing angular-cli#1.0.0-beta.14 and it installs. I can create a new project with it though it takes a long time to create it, and it also throws an error with node-pre-gyp. I came across an article on Github that said it's meant to be installed locally in the project and not globally. So I tried uninstalling, clearing cache and installing without -g to make it local within my project folder and it still has errors installing and I still can't serve my project.
How can I clear this all up and just start back with a clean slate of Angular2? I've looked around and everything I find leads me to the docs which are now updated to something beyond what my computer can handle.

Have you considered running Linux? There are many versions with a lightweight GUI that runs well on older hardware. Ubuntu Mate is an example. It's harder to run node on Windows because of symlinks.
System - Win 7 64 bit.
Nodejs - node-v6.9.4-x64.msi
Installation error - Another installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one.
Solutions that did NOT work - Run as admin, Run via commandline as admin, log had same error i saw in installer, don't install online docs option,
Please help me to fix this. Thank you !
This will not be an issue with your NodeJs installation, it might be because of your previous installation (might be any other software) which might be still in progress or not exit properly.
To solve your issue, please try restarting your machine once and install. This will indirectly kill your previous unstable installation and allow you to install NodeJs
I had this issue with '2017-03-21, Version 6.10.1 'Boron' (LTS)'. Restarting my PC solved the issue.
P.S. However, this issue seems to be specific to the NodeJs installer. I tried installing other programs after the NodeJs installation threw up this error and they installed fine (even before the restart).
I am using Android Studio in Ubuntu 14.4 lts. While installing certain packages through Sdk Manager, i stopped them, as i realized i didn't need them. After which i could not open the sdk manager altogether.
I tried running it from Android-Studio,
I tried running it from the terminal by entering the installed android folder then Sdk/tools and executing ./android as well as ./android sdk
I tried separately downloading stand-alone sdk tools and tried running it , but that didn't help too
I found such problems already dealt but in Windows, there the path is edited or the java_exe is set.
But i dint find any useful suggestion in case of Linux.
I am finding things really helpless by now. Please help!
My MonoTouch install is screwed somehow (MonoDevelop won't even open).
So yesterday I deleted /Developer/MonoTouch off my Mac because that was the only directions I could find for uninstalling it. Today I tried reinstalling both it and MonoDevelop. Both installers ran fine, but I still have the same issue so I went to "uninstall" it again...and that directory doesn't exist this time.
Then I went to install an older version (2.6.7) and that installer tells me that I have a newer version already installed.
So....what do I do?
I am in a very, very bad mood because of all this right now. A months worth of work is now pointless unless I can get this running again.
EDIT
I finally got an older version of MonoTouch to install. Version 2.6.7 that was downloaded off of their site. Now when I run MonoDevelop I get an error that says "MonoDevelop requires the Mono Framework version 2.6.7 or later" and gives me the option to "Cancel" or "Download".
This is the error that I got that started this whole thing. I installed 2.6.7 but it doesn't recognize, and if I install 2.8 it just won't launch (icon bounces 3 times then does nothing, no error, no app).
EDIT 2
The other thing of note is that no matter how many times I install/uninstall/reinstall any version of the Mono Framework, nothing at all shows up in /Developer/MonoTouch.
I don't know how important that is, but considering something used to be there until this problem started I thought it worth mentioning.
Also since this problem started, I can no longer open any .xib files inside of Interface Builder. Whether that means one created in XCode or opening Interface Builder then creating a new View. Interface Builder runs fine, but as soon as I try to open any .xib it crashes with this error report.
I notice it says something about libxml2 in there which WAS installed yesterday and is probably the root cause of this...but I have uninstalled and reinstalled that as well with no luck.
You need to install Mono 2.6.7 or later, please download and install:
