Hello!
I'm not really sure if that belongs here, but as I could find nothing more
fitting... well, here goes:
The system I'm using is MS Windows XP Professional Edition.
After a long time of running smoothly, my Microsoft Installer has gone nuts.
Every time I try to install some software from a .msi file, I get the error:
"Failed to extract file "DLL_.ini" from the binary table."
Now I'm sure this is a bug in the MSI - it doesn't work on _any_ .msi files,
and it crashes in this way on files I had on my hard drive and have been
reinstalling for ages, with never as much as a hint at a problem. Probobaly
something screwed up my registry or whatever.
It would all be fine, but whenever I try to find a way to reinstall the MSI,
I find the comment: "MSI 2.0 is already included in windows XP, so no
installation is needed". Which means I didn't find any way to repair the
thing.
Has anybody got any suggestions? Perhaps where to download MSI for XP, or
how to fix the problem, or at least where to take this question?
