(SOLVED) Trustedinstaller.exe

[TazManiac09]

avast reported Trustedinstaller.exe so i deleted it. With a name like 'trusted installer' the false-positive possibility didn't even cross my mind.

 I need to know where I can download it . I have searched everywhere! Can any of you maybe upload it as an attachment? I have a Vista home premium 32 bit system. Please my updates stopped working. I have too much school work in this computer to reinstall the OS.

The file is small and its location is C:\Windows\servicing\TrustedInstaller.exe

Well, deletion isn't really a good first option (you have none left), 'first do no harm' don't delete, send virus to the chest and investigate.

A search of the forums for trusterinstaller.exe will retuned much information as I believe this has been detected (incorrectly) before.

A file recovery tool might be able to recover the deleted file, but avast is likely to alert, so pause the standard shield when you try to recover it.

Have you got SP1 for Vista, I don't know if that might replace the old trustedinstaller file ?

Well, here you have trustedinstaller.exe, but mine is from win vista ultimate sp1 64 bits, so i dont know if it will work on your vista. Take care.

I couldnt post it here, but i uploaded it to rapidshare.com, here is the link --> http://rapidshare.com/files/193441752/TrustedInstaller.zip

Just in case the one from cazoza doesn't work.

Oh no no this is too good to be true ! I've had this topic in the Vista forums for the past two months!!

Do you have any ideas how awesome you guys are? Coz if you don't here it is: you guys are

AWESOME

Thank you very much. Placing the file in its folder was a bit tricky, but now my updates work again!! 44 important updates and a ton of recommended ones just waiting there, lying down like a seductive mistress, just waiting to be installed!

DavidR, you`r absolutely right. It was a stupid thing to delete it without researching, but you know whats even more stupid: calling an important system file `trusted installer`


Marc and Caz, what can I say you guys.. Thank you very much. You just rocked my socks.

[Marc57]

No problem Taz, Glad I could help.

[DavidR]

No problem, glad I could help.

I bet you won't do it again though

Welcome to the forums.

I made the same mistake.  I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit Edition SP2 and your file saved the day.  I am certainly grateful. - ODB

I hope this works cause I'm really in a desperate condition.. :'(

I know this is solved. For future reference (not that I'm implying you need it) there is a much easier  solution to resolve this type of issue. You could've used Vista's built in system restore feature to go back a few days/weeks to restore your system settings in order to regain the original trustedinstaller.exe file. This would have taken all of 10 minutes and perhaps required a reboot.

HI, I have the same problem, the Trustedinstaller.exe was deleted form the C:\windows\Servicing\  directory
I have windows Vista Premium x64 installed.
I was not able to copy it back to the protected  C:\windows\Servicing\  directory

This is a question to "TazOrama"  you said:
"Placing the file in its folder was a bit tricky, but now my updates work again!! "

How did you do that ?

TIA
