We have found that SOME users of Windows 95/98/ME/SE/2K don't have the most
recent version of the Microsoft Installer.
All WL users of those operating systems should be advised to use this page
to download the latest msi installer: Look for (Windows Installer 2.0
Redistributable) Or click on address below:

New Installer for Win-2K or 2000 look for (Windows Installer 3.0
Redistributable) Or click on address below:

I think WL is needing a more recent Windows Installer.  There is a comment
about this on the WL download web page.  More recent Windows operating
systems seem to have what is needed and the prior Windows versions can be
updated with the Installer downloaded from the Microsoft web site.
