I not only get the Installer dialog box, etc. but I also get the error message, "msiexec.exe
has encountered a problem and needs to close" when I try to follow the steps in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base doc 290301. I've been able to get the program to my Desktop,
but when I go thru the procedure to "Intall Now" this error comes up and the installation
comes to a halt. I suspect some other bug in the mess because I'm getting that type
of error and shutdowns of many of my applications on this XP system with Office 2000.
In fact it was the "needs to close" errors that I've been trying to overcome for
several days, before the Installer went kookie.
This is far worse than annoying. I'll appreciate good advice to lick this problem.
