I tried all the solutions on both websites and still have the same problem
with msi files not opening with windows installer 3.1v2 plus the updated
patch which I downloaded. Don't know what else to do have spent 5 hours
trying to ressolve this problem. Cannot understaand why a windows installer
will not open a windows msi package stating that this is not a valid w32
program?
