This script resolves many problems with Windows Installer, including error 0xC0070652. If the script applies, you can force the Windows Installer service to restart from the Services menu.

You should use the Task Manager to stop the “MSI server” during uninstallation if this error only occurs when uninstalling a specific application.

A simple PC reboot can often fix internal glitches that cause the system to crash. If the error persists even after performing any of the below workarounds, try these troubleshooting ways. If none of these workarounds work, make sure to restart your device first. 

When this occurs, we recommend rebooting your computer and checking that no third-party service interferes with the installation or uninstallation process.

How to fix application removal error 0xC0070652

You can fix error code 0xC0070652 using several effective and useful techniques. The following techniques should be followed in order to fix this error:

Restart the Windows installation service

In case the problem persists despite restarting the computer, it is necessary to restart Windows Installer services. As a result of being in an intermediate state, the Windows Installer service cannot accept requests from the subdomain that requires the service under the operating system. Using these steps, you can quickly restart the Windows Installer service:

1. A Run dialog box appears when you press Windows + R.
2. Press ‘Enter’ to type ‘service. MSC’ in the available text box.
3. The Windows Installer Service is listed on the right-hand pane of the Services screen.
4. Use the context menu to run the ‘Windows Installer Service’ by right-clicking the icon and selecting ‘Run’.
5. After uninstalling the program, you may need to repeat this process if the error persists. If this occurs again, proceed to the next procedure, which will find a more advanced solution.

MSISERVER service

Windows Installer service troubleshooting is usually the solution for the error code 0xC0070652.

The error can be fixed if the MSISERVER service is stopped. Here is how to stop it:

1. To open the Task Manager, press the combination of Ctrl, Shift, Esc.
2. You can see the details of your Task Manager tasks by clicking on the Services tab.
3. Then find the entry for MSISERVER in the list of services.
4. Select Stop from the context menu by right-clicking on the service.
5. Prior to applying the final fix, you should disable msiexec.exe on your system if you have Google Backup / Sync installed.
6. Hopefully, you now have a clearer idea of what the problem is. If you still encounter error code 0xC0070652, follow the next step.

Antivirus Remover

It’s possible that the problem is related to your antivirus program if the error code 0xC0070652 has not disappeared from your screen, as well as the pop-up window saying another program has already been installed. You might be using an antivirus program, or you might have uninstalled it, but the program still left system files.

If you wish to remove corrupted or unnecessary system files from your PC, you may need an antivirus removal utility. Reimage Plus can be used.

Cleaning your PC can be done in the following ways:

1. Using the right-click menu, select “Properties” for “This PC.”

5. The version of Reimage Plus you should download depends on the type of your system.
6. The access control dialog box appears when you double-click the installer extension file.
7. Restart the computer by clicking “Yes.”.
8. Removing the remaining antivirus files is as simple as following the screen instructions.
9. You can try restarting your computer and checking the problem afterward. If you still have a problem, you can try the following method.

Make a clean boot

The 0xC0070652 error code can be removed if your system files have been corrupted by a third-party conflict.

Steps to follow:

1. Open the Run dialog box by pressing the ‘Windows’ key and R simultaneously.

3. The System Configuration window will open as a result of this sequence.

9. Then click “Disable”.
10. Prepare your device for final boot by stopping all active services.
11. You can now reboot your computer after enabling all services.
