What is version 2.0.2600.1183 of Windows Installer? If this is on the system and we try to run Instmsiw.exe to install 2.0.2600.2 we get an error saying "the specified service already exists" .

Thanks for any help.
Janet

You cannot install V2.0 of windows installer on top of another V2.0 install.

In particular you can't install an older version on top of a newer version.

So 2.0.2600.1183 is a higher version number than 2.0.2600.2?

OK. Thanks.
