Windows installer

[Art]

After downloading the latest version of Adobe Acrobat, I
tried to install it. I received:

127 internal error
Windows installer
Windows installer service could not be accessed.

I have all of the service packs and updates for W2000
installed. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi

Try the methods one by one outlined here to fix Windows Installer problems in
Win2k and NT4:

After running through the four points above, also try this from Start/Run:

msiexec /regserver


If that doesn't solve your problem, and you have MSI 2.0 installed, downgrade
to version 1.1 (somewhat messy), and then install MSI 2.0 again:
