    Will a Repair Install Fix the Windows Installer 5.0 ??


    I had an issue with the .MSI Windows Installer (imbedded in Windows 7).

    I followed some bad advice and deleted via Regedit. Windows Installer 5.0 is NOT available for download as a stand alone program.

    So I'm pondering doing a Repair Install.

    Will doing so Reinstall the Windows Installer Program ?

    Yes it should seeing as its a windows file.
    Repair install replaces the Windows files from the disc.

    I actually went back (using the Recovery Disc), to do a RESTORE from a recent Restore Point.

    Worked Perfect!
