Yes, but it was not necessarily launched as "msiexec". If the file was just double-clicked on, the path to msiexec will be fetched from the registry and not the system PATH. That's the only explanation I can find. > Siva; did you extract both msi files from the zip file before running the > installer? That gives a different error message - it starts msiexec and then msiexec is the one that complains. This error indicates that it can't even find msiexec.exe to run. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
