install problems on FP 2003

When I try to start FP 2003, I get a dialog box about Windows Installer and
then it seems to start to want to install FP but stops and say something
about a fatal install error.

But, if I go to a we site in IE and fo to edit the file in FP, i get the
same actions of wanting to start Windows Installer...I keep closin out that
dialog box and about after 6-8 more times of that, FP opens and I can then
edit tht file or in fact do anything I want as lon as I do not close FP and
try to restart it outside of foing back on the web and selecting to edit an
online html file.

I have tried to Repair and even re- install but I get the same problem.

Can some one give me some ideas?

ALSO...I understand there will be not FP 2007. It is supposed to be
replaced by Expression??? I downloaded a pre-release of that but it sure
does not look like nor act like a web page builder???

Dear aWebParson,

Sounds like a Windows Installer issue. The new Windows Installer
redistributable follows a new naming convention that contains a
knowledge base reference so it is easier to identify which version of
the Windows Installer will be installed. The previous naming
convention, INSTMSI.EXE, will no longer be used. Try this - go to

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...fc-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c&DisplayLang=en


and install the latest version of the Windows Installer. Then try
installing FP again. Keep us apprised of your progress. Good luck,
aWebParson.
