Installer problem on XP

[Ed]

Does Installer come with the OS on XP? ME? I have some
clients where it seems as if it is not installed. When we
try to install with instmsiW.exe it does nothing.

Yes. This is what the msi faq states - "Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows
Millennium Edition (Windows Me), and Windows XP include Windows Installer.
Windows 2000 includes version 1.1 of Windows Installer, Windows Me includes
version 1.2, and Windows XP includes version 2.0. Windows 2000 SP3 also
contains version 2.0 of Windows Installer."

InstMsiW is meant for only NT4 and Win2K. Installer on XP can be upgraded
only through an OS SP. Use InstMsiA for 95, 98 and Me.
