Hi! zallen,

Do you know how to install the package(*.msi) on win98? [sig][/sig]

Recently i'm upgrading the win98 to win2k professinal.So i have not delved into installing *.msi in win98.But i think if you install InstMsi.exe,then you can double click *.msi file to install it.

Try it yourself!

Regards!

InstMsi.exe is for winnt but not for win98. Win98 is not a server os. So it needn't to solve this problem.

There must exist a win98 version!

The Microsoft Windows Installer's URL is

http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/instmsi.htm

and it includes installers for NT and 9x.
