What happens, if anything, if you click on the .msi file after to run the InstallDriver program?

To open MSI files, you need windows installer to open them
here is the link to the download page for it on microsoft.com:
http://www.microsoft...;DisplayLang=en
i think you should be able to update it by installing that.

edit: oops, wrong version, make sure that says windows installer 4.5 and not 3.1!

Well, if there are no files for Vista, then how do you propose to install it?

Then you are working on a lost cause. Unless the program is compatible with and has the install files for Vista, then it will never install.

Ok. So I'm back on topic. Windows Vista is Windows 6.0 Right?

If it is, what program do I use to open MSU files?
