Trouble installing updates

I am having trouble installing windows updates (OS ME) and CD ROMs. After
downloading, upon restarting, I get "windows could not upgrade the file %1
from %2". After restart, another message appears, "MSIEXEC.EXE is linked to
missing export MSI.DLL:222. I'd appreciate any advise available.

Hi DaHo,

Have a look at these MSKB articles:

Error Message: Windows Could Not Upgrade the File %1 from %2 %1: %2
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283069

Norton System Works 2000 Is Not Compatible with Windows Millennium Edition

Thanks Patti. I read the first article and followed the instructions to
rename the wininit.ini file but my search did not locate the file. Can that
file be downloaded?

No, that file cannot be downloaded and since your search did not locate the
file, then it is not the source of the problem.

Try this possible solution, provided courtesy of Mike Maltby MS-MVP, in the
paragraph that begins with "If you can't find a wininit.ini file ......."
