Guest Scott Conner Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I need to download updates and new software and my system now gives me a message that the "Windows Installer is missing" error and I should contact my system administrator. When you don't have a sysytem administrator how do you fix this problem. I have been looking for the installer for my x64 system and it takes me to the X64 server installer instead. What do I need to do here. Anybody have any ideas??

Guest Bobby Johnson Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Re: Windows Installer missing error The below is only true if you are talking about Windows XP Professional x64. You really should be explicit about which operating system you are running. There is also Vista x64 which requires a different Windows Installer.
