Windows Installer
My windows installer isn't working correctly. It won't install.
​
One error I've gotten is 997: Overlapped I/O operation in progress.
​
I'm not sure how to progress with this, but it is annoying since I can't load programs.
​
I have Windows XP.
​
Any suggestions. Keep it simple.
​
Thanks in advance.

Re: Windows Installer
I checked that site before I posted. I don't have the Dcpromo.exe file.
​
So if that is the file needed for Windows Installer to work, then the next question is how to reinstall windows installer?
​
I haven't found a good solution for that either.
​
It's probably simple and I'm just not connecting the dots, but the solution is eluding me.
​
Thanks
PD

Re: Windows Installer
Thanks for the tip. I tried it, but it didn't put the Dcpromo.exe file on the computer.
​
When I try to load some software I get the message:
​
The Windows Installer Service could nto be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed.
​
I haven't had any luck reinstalling the windows installer.
​
So still trying.
​
Thanks
again
