Whenever I run a .exe based installer, I receive and error saying that the Windows Installation Service could not be accessed. This has been happening ever since I attempted to install Windows Installer 3.1. This error persists after a sudo apt-get remove wine* --purge command. I'm clueless, and any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
