Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately I've been to that page and downloaded the WinXP version
several times. But, it's an msu file and my system doesn't know what to do
with it. I've tried passing the msu into msiexec, but it doesn't like that.
How can I make an msu run where there is no MSI 4?
