My XP system will not run an MSI installer....

[geronimo]

I am trying to install VoxAtc on my XP Pro PC. The downloaded
installed is a WIndows .MSI package. When I click it, it fails to
run, Windows says the Windows Installer service was not found.
It is kind of strange that they have a MSI installer rather than the
usual type setup.exe file.

probably should also mention that the Windows version is SP2.

Try reinstalling windows installer, then try to install voxatc, whatever
that is.

Did that, but I still get the same message that the WIndows Installer
could not be accessed. Regards, Geronimo.

Make sure its service is not disabled. Normally it would be set to
"manual".

I reinstalled WIndows Installer with the latest version, however I got
the same message: "the Windows Installer could not be accessed".
Strange.

If you go to "My Computer", "Tools", "Folder Options", "File Types"
do you have a "MSI" as a file extension in the window? And if so does it
show 'Windows Installer Package" ?
