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:

http://kurttrail.com/microscum/postsp2/

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.
