Hi MP - Well, help us out here a bit more -
A little more info, please. What didn't work? - the download of Windows
Installer 3.1v2? the install of 3.1v2? the installation (right click,
'Install' or did you just double click the .msi?) of an .msi file using the
newly installed 3.1v2? What exactly do you mean that "the MSI actions are
empty" - that there are no right click options? - that nothing happens?
As to "reinstalling MSIEXEC or windows installer" - reinstalling the
Windows Installer is just what you were previously advised to do by both me
and MVP S.Sengupta. The 2.0 version of Windows Installer is intrinsic to XP
and is normally "re-installed" by reinstalling SP2, if that's what you are
asking - that's why you were advised to download and install Windows
Installer 3.1v2 instead.

||| ||||| Hi!
|||||
||||| I tried installing a program with .MSI extension and notice an
information
