Fellow PCWorkers,

Using Windows 98 with an HP Pavilion, and having a strange problem with
installing MS Word 2000. I have it on my computer, and was always able
to install it with my Word CD. However, something has now changed.

I want to reinstall the program because I "suspect" there is something
about it causing periodic freezes in the system. However, upon
re-installing the program (I�m glad I still have it in the system and
didn�t delete the program first), I get the following message:

�The MSIEXEC.exe file is linked to missing export MSI.DLL:222� � then
another message:
�Cannot launch C:\Windows\System\MSIEXEC.exe � A device attached to the
system is not functioning.�

I do have the above file, msiexec.exe, in my System folder but
apparently not functioning.

1. Anyone know what the above messages mean?
2. Is there a way to get any above non functioning files (other than
reinstalling the OS)?
3. What is msi.dll.222 ? � I never saw a file with such an extension.
4. And if there is a way of getting any of the above missing or
non-functioning files, where would they go?
