    ' FixUpdate.vbs (136, 9) (null) or
    ' FixUpdate.vbs(135, 26) error
    ' 
    ' Change Windows Installer to Manual mode
    ' ------------------------------------------
    strComputer = "."
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
    Set colServiceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_Service where Name = 'msiserver'")
    For Each objService in colServiceList
       errReturnCode = objService.Change( , , , , "Manual") 
       WScript.echo errReturnCode
    Next
    
    
    ' FixUpdate.vbs (136, 9) (null) or
    ' FixUpdate.vbs(135, 26) error
    ' 
    ' Kill all msiexec process
    ' ------------------------------------------
    strComputer = "."
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
    Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'msiexec.exe'")
    For Each objProcess in colProcessList
       objProcess.Terminate()
    Next
