Default Setup.MSI

Thank You very much Mike. I will follow up and let you
know what happened.

Now what?


Use it. If the MSI extension is now associated with the

Windows Installer (as
it should be) then all you should now need to do is

double click the msi file
to start the installation. If that doesn't work then

reinstall the Microsoft
Installer.

KB 324638 (see below) includes instructions as to how to

install v2.0 of the
Windows Installer including a link from which you can

download a new copy.

MS KB 324638 - "OFFXP: "The MSIEXEC.EXE File Is Linked

to a Missing Export
MSI.DLL:222" Error Message When You Try to Install,

Update, or Remove a
Windows Installer-Based Program"

(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=324638).

Note that it is essential that you rename or delete all

copies of msi.dll
before attempting to install the Windows Installer. The

KB article explains
how to do this.

Now
