This is the message I get when trying to install something:
This installation package could not be opened. Verify that package exists
and that you can access it, or conatct the application vendor to verify that
ithis is a valid Windows Installer package. I have installed the 3.1 v2 or
what ever its called. When I went to uninstall it a box came up and announce
that a whole lot of programs would cease to work if I uninstalled it. How do
I fix this?
