Windows Forum / Windows Me / System Tools / January 2004Cannot find MSIEXEC
Hi I am having this error message window(with the name MSIEXEC) pops up when trying to install some software..'Windows Cannot Find MSIEXEC....' I found some instructions to unregister and register the Windows installer service. When I try to follow the instructions and type the following in DOS at the C prompt ie. msiexec/unregister I get bad command or file. Any ideas on hoe to fix this problem? Thanks Amit See if this helps courtesy of MikeM. Joan The error you are seeing is a result of having an incorrect version of msi.dll. See MS KB 324638 - "OFFXP: "The MSIEXEC.EXE File Is Linked to a Missing Export MSI.DLL:222" Error Message When You Try to Install, Update, or Remove a Windows Installer-Based Program" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=324638). The KB includes instructions as to how to install v2.0 of the Windows Installer including a link from which you can download a new copy of the Windows installer. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP mcmaltby@hotmail.com > Hi I am having this error message window(with the name > MSIEXEC) pops up when trying to install some [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Amit Rather than unregistering and reregistering why not try installing the latest version. For details of how to do so see MS KB 324638 - "OFFXP: "The MSIEXEC.EXE File Is Linked to a Missing Export MSI.DLL:222" Error Message When You Try to Install, Update, or Remove a Windows Installer-Based Program" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=324638) which contains a link to the Windows Installer and explains how to reinstall it. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP mcmaltby@hotmail.com > Hi I am having this error message window(with the name > MSIEXEC) pops up when trying to install some [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > msiexec/unregister I get bad command or file.
