Invalid page fault MSIEXEC.EXE

[TopHat2]

Whilst trying to install Office 2000, under Win98 SE, on Pentium 150, with 64 RAM, the folling error message occured:
"MSIEXEC caused an invalid page fault in
module MSIEXEC.EXE at 0167:00400280.

MSIEXEC.EXE is in the \windows\system dir. I can reproduce the error any time, by running MSIEXEC.EXE. I have determined that Office 2000 instalation copys MSIEXEC.EXE to the system dir each time it is run.

Does any one have an idea on this?

Invalid page fault MSIEXEC.EXE. Update.

The machine (it wasn't mine) was crawling with PC_CIH virus, also knowen as Win95.cih virus. See MS article:

I think a reinstall may be inorder. Hope it goes well. Viruses suck.
