When I try to open some programs on my computer it says that msi.dll was not
found. It says re-installing the application may help fix the problem. I
don't know how to re-install it. Can you help?

Re: msi.dll was not found
Hi,
I was trying to download and install verizon security suite and i got this
error message 0x80040702 Failed to load DLL.msi
I went to system32 file and couldn't find msi.dll in there. I did the things
you told me to do and nothing has helped. Please tell me there's a way to fix
it. It said to re-install msi.dll but i don't know how to. So can you please
help.
Thanks

Re: msi.dll was not found
Hi,
Sorry to say I still couldn't find it. I hope you have some more ideas. I
don't mess with any of the files because I don't know what they are for
that's why I can't understand what happened.
Thanks
