7 (Professional) and Windows 8 machines, but we get the 1920 error when trying to deploy to a Windows 7 Ultimate machine. We have not yet confirmed whether the issue is to do with the OS or the specific machine that we are trying to install this on. The installer is always run by right-clicking and "Run as Administrator", and the users (both, the user running the installer and the Logon User for which the credentials are supplied) are administrators on the machine. Usually the logged in user installing the service, and the Logon user running the service are the same. Here are the things we have tried. Verified the Logon user is a member of Administrators. Verified the user account settings are exactly the same as another machine where it works. Verified from Control Panel - Administrative tools - Local Security Policy - Local Policies - Security Options = that these again match machine where it works. Ensured that all windows updates have been applied. Verified that the Windows Management Instrumentation Service is running. Restarted it. Rebooted the machine, then tried again. Added "generatePublisherEvidence" element

Defender (formerly Windows Antispyware, formerly Giant Software Company Antispyware) prompted me to install a new version. I have a Windows 2000 laptop I keep around to play and test with so I figured I'd try it there forst and see if it's worth doing on my other systems that have Windows Defender installed. Toward the end of the install I get the following message: "Error 1920. Windows Defender Service (windefend) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Problem is that I was installing with an account that already had admin privileges. The only way to have more privilege would be to have Bill Gates himself give his blessing. I did some searching on the web and found a couple of different things that most people seem to think works to fix this issue. They are as follows: Make sure you have the GDI+ update installed. Install the update rollup for Windows 2000 SP4. Needless to say neither of these worked for me. As I continued my search I chanced upon this link which offered the following solution. While the installation is in it's error state (in other words, while the error message is up) open up your services (Go to Start->Run, type Services.msc in the Open field and click OK). Then open the defender service and change it from local account to an administrator account on your network. Try to start the service. (It'll probably give an "access denied" error".) Change it back to local account and it should work. Problem is that when I use this machine at home I'm not on a network so I can't log in as a network administrator. So I just changed the account. The account I use has admin rights but isn't the admin. So I just changed to the admin of the machine, tried to start the service, got the error message then switched it back to the original account (with admin privileges) and it worked! People have reported that you need to reapply these steps every time you reboot but I can't vouch for that yet. I don't shut
