Problem

Quite why Microsoft have it disabled I don't know, but to enable it you need to do the following.

Solution

Option 1 (If you are in "Safe Mode").

1. Click Start > in the Search/Run box type cmd {enter} then type the following,

REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\ MSIServer"/VE/T REG_SZ /F/D"Service" {enter}

2. Then type in the following,

net start msiserver {enter}

Option 2 (If you are in "Safe mode with Networking").
