Hi callie,

What you can do is verify that you have the current version number.

Start|Run, type "%systemroot%\system32" without the quotation marks in the

box. Find the file "msi.dll". Select on the File tab "Properties". Under

"version" the number should be 3.1.4000.4039 . If that is the version number

it shows you are up to date with Windows Installer. Otherwise, install

KB927891.
