Hi,
I am administrator of my PC i updated my Windows Installer (but it was the
same problem as before i did).

Can you describe how i do this (im not a PC expert):
> Did you recently update Windows Installer?
> If you run it to your %TEMP% directory, all should be fine.

i have tried to do most of these things too (not the once for win 2000)

python-2.5.msi (Python) is one of many examples of programs i can't install
ending the name with .msi.

I have Office 2000 Standard, (read it was a problem with .msi or something)

When i right click on a "msi-file" (for example python-2.5.msi) and click
propities, there is a line that says "Open with: unknown program" (something
like that but in Swedish). I don't know if this is wrong?

btw i have Windows XP Media Center Edition if i didn't say it before.
