Publisher 2000 Deluxe - Installation Problem

[steve t]

I was in the middle of installing Publisher 2000 Deluxe
when my system locked up. I re-booted the computer and
now when I try to run the setup, I get the following
message:

"Microsoft Publisher 2000 Deluxe requires that you
complete setup while logged in as the same user you first
ran setup on"

I hit OK, then I get the message, "Installation ended
prematurely because of an error".

I'm running Windows 98SE.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Download the Windows Installer, might be the solution
Windows Installer 2.0 Redistributable for Windows 95, 98, and Me

Hi Mary -

I downloaded the installer, but when I attempted to run
the application, I get the message, "the specified service
already exists."

Be sure to update your Windows 98 too.
