Windows Installer

[KenP]

Tried to install Symantec EndPoint Protection but it would not install cause
of some Windows Installer error (or Symantec EPP error masked as Windows
Installer error). Anyway, Symantec T/S had me uninstall Windows Installer to
get antivirus loaded. When tried to reinstall Windows Installer, I get err
msg telling me cannot install because Service Pack is more recent than
version trying to install. I'm trying to download/install Windows Installer
Redistributable 3.2.

Does anyone know how to get around this or fix it--I can't install anything
on this PC. Thanks in advance.

Why on earth do people use Symantec products and even worse listen to the Tech that told you to uninstall the Windows Installer.

Try and install the Windows Installer 4.5

I do not know why others do it but we have to have an antivirus and Microsoft
does not have one for Windows Server 2003, or that's what they told me. And,
what good is an antivirus if it does not work.

I despise Symantec also.

Nod32 is the one I use on this W2K3 box. Clean and no bloat and works just right in detecting
