I can't install windows installer.

Longhorn 4074 bring with him Windows Installer version 4.0.4074 - very bugged and crippled - there aren't any silent switches even basic "/quiet" ; "/passive" doesn't work.

First of all, I was installed Windows Installer 3.1 (witch ask for xp compatibility mode) over default version 4.0.4074. After installation, Windows installer 3.1 was in Add or remove in control panel, but was not recognized from the system. In that time (after restarting of course) there was still active the default version 4074 version.

After that, I made "CSDVersion" in registry with value 200, to get Windows XP Service Pack 2 Lie, with whose help it was possible to install Windows installer 4.5 (need minimum system req. XP SP2)
After restarting I was get totally damaged MSI Windows installer.

Now I want to know it's somehow possible to get functional Windows installer 3.1 or 4.5 on Windows Longhorn 4074?

There was one a fix for windows installer 3.1 but de setup is broken. It's on one of the ftps

Can you please specify a link from it?

I have fix for installing 3.1 or 4.5 beta on longhorn 4074 somewhere. I will upload it later.

Later...?! When gonna be that?!
Please post direct links

,thanks

Late, but here it is. I forgot to upload it. Remind me in future ....

I installed some time ago longhorm on virtual machine and graphic was 4bit

You need to install the display drivers for that VM or change the display settings (if in VPC)

But there is still the same error after run "msiexec" from start->run when you choose to install win installer 4.5 beta ((

Strange, I have never had any problems with this tool. I will try it again then I will install the build 4074 somewhere.
