MSI files

[Louis Tétreault]

Hi,

My computer ask me which application I want to use to execute msi files. So
I looked on the web and finaly find that the application is msiexec.exe that
I should use. I did look and I didn't find this exe. There is a utility to
install that exe, but no one is working on XP.

Any one have an idea?

Thank's in advance.

Hi Louis,

Msiexec.exe should reside in the \windows\system32 folder, though you need
to have folder options/view set to see hidden and system files in order to
see it.

If it is truely missing, you can start/run "sfc /scannow" (without the
quotes) and allow this function to replace missing files, or expand it
directly from the I386 folder using msconfig (there is an "expand file"
button on the general tab).
