I just got the demo, and went to install it and found out I could not. For some reason I deleted the windows installer service a while ago, and I can not re-install it. Is there any way to get around this? Posts: 57 | Registered: Monday, December 20 2004 08:00 |

In case you've actually uninstalled it somehow, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315346/en-us In case you've just disabled it, go: start -> settings -> control panel -> administrative tools -> services -> right click on windows installer -> properties -> set it to automatic startup Hope that helps.

If that doesn't help jsut download "winrar", it is very simple, and even though it says you are supposed to buy it, there is no penalty that I have seen if you don't. -------------------- Woot my Number is 373, how many poeple can say that!!

It was most likely caused by malware of some sort. -------------------- "Dumbledore returns from the dead and declares it to be hammertime, Harry proceeds to break it down, Voldemort is unable to touch this." —Dintiradan Spiderweb Chat Room Avernum RP • Summaries • OoC • Roster Shadow Vale - My site, home of the Spiderweb Chat Database, BoA Scenario Database, & the A1 Quest List, among other things.
