How to Solve Windows setup encountered HResult: 0x80070422 Error

Today, the installation of smartrf flash programmer failed. I got the following error. I thought it was a problem with the installation package. I tried several versions but couldn’t solve it. After looking up the error code, I found that it was caused by the system installation service not being started. Just set it to be started manually or automatically, and then start the service.

HRESULT:0x80070422

Windows Modules Installer service was not started/does not exist

In the Services window locate Windows Modules Installer service.

Click right mouse button on Windows Modules Installer service and click Properties.

Check Service status string in window opened. It should be “Started”.
