Msiexec caused an error in unknown
I've tried to find an EXACT replication of this issue on Microsoft database
but rather than attempt a near miss repair - particularly as I'm no whizzkid - I thought I'd consult the experts. I recently reinstalled ME, loaded up all related software and performed a Windows update. I then installed Office 2000 Home Premium from CD and following research about securing Outlook with additional patches requested SR-1 patch, While looking at background documentation there was a recommendation to download Installer ver 2 beforehand. I downloaded and can confirm I have the correct version installed. Back to SR-1 update - I passed the verfication test and attempted to download update (note it recognised that Windows had already been patched so was just looking for outlook update). Towards the end of the update I received an Installer Terminated Prematurely error referring me to a text file (further down this message) Since then, any attempts to either uninstall, reinstall or repair have resulted in Msiexec caused an error in unknown messages and clicking OK just clears the dialogue box (i.e nothing else happens) Your assistance is much appreciated and if I need to elaborate further I am happy to.

Msiexec caused an error in unknown
Thanks Mike - apols for posting in wrong forum - will try suggested
amendments and revert to office forums if needed "Mike M" wrote: Tony, I think you might be better off by posting to an Office newsgroup however I would at least try reinstalling the Windows Installer. Details of how to reinstall the Installer are contained in MS KB324638 ""The MSIEXEC.EXE file is linked to a missing export MSI.DLL:222" error message when you to install, update, or remove a Windows Installer-based program" (http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=324638) which also includes a link to download the v2 installer required for Win Me. Note however that it is ESSENTIAL to remove/rename all copies of msi.dll before starting the reinstall and that you may need to do this by booting to DOS using a boot floppy and working from the DOS prompt. Towards the end of the update I received an Installer Terminated Prematurely error referring me to a text file (further down this message) Patch applied (995). This looks as if the error is 995 The only reference to this error (995) is MS KB297107 "You receive an "Installer terminated prematurely" error message when you use the ! logging option to install Office XP" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=297107) which may or may not apply to Office 2000 which is an unsupported product however I can't see that logging was enabled. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows Tony1966 wrote: I've tried to find an EXACT replication of this issue on Microsoft database but rather than attempt a near miss repair - particularly as I'm no whizzkid - I thought I'd consult the experts.

Tony,
No apology was required or called for. I simply mentioned the Office NGs as I thought there might be a better chance of you finding a solution there as so few people now read the Win Me NGs. Cheers and the very best of luck. Oh, and I'd love to know the answer once you find it.
