Microsoft Windows Installer

With Windows 2000 Microsoft introduced a new installer technology called Microsoft Windows Installer. This provides better tracking of installed software and less conflicts between shared modules. Microsoft Windows Installer is built into Windows 2000 and Windows Millennium and is available as redistibuteable for Win95/98 and WinNT4. If you don't have the Microsoft Windows Installer installed you can download it here.
If you are using any up to date program like Office 2000 you do already have MSI installed on your computer. You only do need to download these files if you don't such programs.
