Problem Installing Textpad on PC without Internet Connection
Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2005 3:34 pm
I need to use Textpad on someone else's PC this weekend and this PC is not connected to the Internet. When I try to install Textpad on this PC (Win 98 operating system) I get the following error message:
"An error occurred while downloading the file http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... stmsia.exe. What would you like to do?"
Good question. I went onto the Microsoft site and tried to download the file onto a machine that is connected to the Internet, but I can only seem to find WindowsInstaller version 3, not version 2, and 3 does not seem to work on Win 98. I also don't know whether installing Windows Installer locally on the machine would rectify the problem.
If anyone can suggest how to get around this problem and where I can download any necessary files, I would be very grateful. Connecting this PC to the Internet is not an option unfortunately.
Thank you very much in advance.
