Windows installer will not work under Safe Mode, this means that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled in safe mode without giving a specific command using msiexec in command prompt.
To make windows installer to work under safe mode you need to create a registry entry for every type of safe mode you are login into:
Safe Mode - Type this in a command prompt:
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\ MSIServer"/VE/T REG_SZ /F/D"Service"
Then start the Windows Installer service by typing net start msiserver
******************************************************************************
Safe Mode with Network - Type this in a command prompt:
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\ MSIServer"/VE/T REG_SZ/F/D"Service"
Then start the Windows Installer service by typing net start msiserver.
