I have a solution. Tried everything I read about after doing Google search re: error message that msi program couldn't be run, check its authenticity. Re-installed MSI 4.5, made sure permissions were in order, etc., but still wouldn't allow installation of a *.msi app. Finally, I thought, since it's Microsoft installer, maybe .msi apps can only be validly downloaded via MS Internet Explorer, not the Mozilla Firefox I had been using previously. No, still didn't work. So then I tried executing Run instead of Save from the internet sites I had downloaded the .msi apps, and Bingo!, give that man a cigar, IT WORKED!! The installers worked for each of the several .msi files. This tells me that there is something on my Win XP Pro NTFS-protected system that is preventing the execution of the msi apps.

I would still like to find out how to undo whatever setting(s) so that I can run downloaded msi apps. I'll try to get thru to MS Support if I can manage not to pay anything for the service.

Lars, have you checked the Windows SDK Team blog to see if you can find the answer? Check this article and the linked follow up article: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowssdk/archive/2008/08/27/how-it-works-windows-sdk-documentation-part-1.aspx

You (almost) promised a follow-up on this article - but I cannot find it...

As far as I can read from Microsoft documentation, creating a single help file install build from several HxS files requires compilation of a single, combined HxI file - but how do you do that? What tool is needed?
