I have Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 2
installed. How do I know what version of Windows Installer I
have and what version should I have? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

To obtain the version:

Start/Run --> msiexec.exe


If you have the latest version, it should state this at the top:

Windows ® Installer. V 3.01.4000.1823


If not, take a look here:

and locate this line:
16.) Windows Installer 3.1 (v2) is available (893803)


The "Download Now" links on this web page are downloading from
Microsoft's download center.

In Windows XP, open a Command Prompt
(Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter)
and type: msiexec , and hit enter.

The latest version of Windows Installer is "v3.01"
which is available from the Windows Update web site.
