Interesting. I was worried a bit that I don't have a MSISIP.DLL at all,
any version. However, I see one of the solutions at that Google search
of yours is to delete that file. I guess you don't get one unless you've
taken Windows Installer v2.0, (which I have never found the need to do).

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/r...eleaseID=32831
Windows Installer v.2.0

Using WinZip to look inside "InstMsiA.exe" downloaded to TEMP from
there, it did indeed have an "msisip.dll". Extracting that into TEMP,
indeed it is v.2.0.2600.2.

Also, I note the one/only "InstMsiA.exe" I had before this was in a
McAfee "setup" folder. Looking inside, there is no "msisip.dll" in that
one.

So, what you say has the ring of truth, BUT... well, I guess I'd rather
replace the file if I had one instead of just deleting it. ANYWAY...

How are installations going, now that you've replaced yours?

| The MSISIP.DLL v2.0.2600.2 has a bug in it. You must download
MSISIP.DLL

|
| Do NOT double-click to install the install.exe file you download.
Instead,
| right-click to open install.exe with a ZIP utility such as WINZIP.EXE
and

with
| WINZIP. Now you can extract MSISIP.DLL v2.0.2600.0. You should be
able to

defective

will
| need to replace it in MS-DOS mode.
