Download

To install you have two options – Smaller and Larger.  The Smaller one does not have the embedded MSI engines for 95/98/NT.  If you’re installing on 2000 or ME or know that you have the updated MSI engine it will save you some time.  Otherwise go to simtel to get the larger version.

Smaller Version (1.7Megs) : here

  • If you get the following error – “1604: This setup  does not contain the Windows installer engine instmsia.exe required to run the installation on this operating system.”  It means you need to download the newest Microsoft installer engine.  If you want to read about the installer click here.

 

Larger Version (4.6Megs) : here
