I too was unable to register msiexec until I did as you suggested in method 4. I
had no "system" account in the 1st Key "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT". Once I added that I was
able to register msiexec and all is now right with my XP (at least until the next
time something goes wrong). I read through a lot of threads and tried lots of "solutions"
before I found yours that actually worked. Good job. Now my Installer works as it
should. Incidently, my problem started after a failed SP2 installation. I'm gonna
stick with SP1 for now. Thank you gudlak for your expertise.
