Put your windows install disc in and let Outlook grab the file it needs.

Outlook blocks specific attachments... the best way to prevent this is have the files sent as a zip file.  Also make sure that your ISP does not limit your attachment size.  (Sometimes ISP's will remove the file if it is bigger than what they allow.)  I have attached a link to Microsoft that give the instructions on changing it.  (To be safe I would do the .zip files)

This seems to be a problem with windows installer. Microsoft's advice on this error is to run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility this can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301\n\nDid the fix I posted, work from your previous question??

In outlook express, go to Tool -> Options\nthen click on 'Security' tab and uncheck 'Do not allow attachments to be open or saved'.\n\nThen click ok.

It is a virus.  Do you have spy sweeper or something similar?  You need to find out what it is then on another computer download the fix onto a cd...sounds like one that I had once.  Microsoft has the fix for it.  Good luck

IT Professional\nHappened several times in the past to me or one of my users\n\nNOTE: Make sure you have your ID Key for MS Office\n      BACKUP any data first  \n\n\n1. Open Control Panel \n\n2. Open Add/Remove Programs\n\n3. Click on Microsoft Office\n\n4. Click on Remove when the Windows Installer opens\n\n5. Allow the full MS Office suite to be removed\n\n6. Reboot the computer\n\n7. Insert the MS Office CD\n\n8. When prompted enter the ID Key, click Next\n\n9. At this point you can choose the Standard or if you use features from MS Office that are not commonly used, click Custom\n\n10. If you used Custom Install there will be boxes for Word, Excel, Outlook, etc \n\n11. Click the + sign next to each item and choose the components to install\n\n12. After install is complete, reboot the computer\n\n\nShould fix the problem, Happy Computing!

In Outlook Express go into tools > options > security and remove the check from 'Do not allow attachments to be saved..........'.\n\nThat will fix it.

I think this could be a kind of spyware or Trojan.  Or just an update for windows.\nThe best thing to do is to use a virus checker with a spyware search built in - if this comes up clear then windows is legitinatly updating itself, it it says this installer is a trojan or spyware then you should try to get rid of it ASAP.

Well, it appears that it more than likely has to do with either the Windows Installer version or account permissions on the folder where the .msi (Windows Installer) file is located. Please check the reference link that I have supplied. It explains the problem, and provides a way or two to fix it. =)

Hi that happens because internet explorer has set outlook as your default mail program.\n\nThe only way around this is to either pay a fee to yahoo so you can use their POP3 from your computer or sign up with a provider that gives you this for free, otherwise you will have to keep copying and pasting everytime.

If the problem is with webmail, you may be using a defective or obsolete web browser (like Internet Explorer 3). Try installing a newer one.\n\nIf the problem is in a mail client like Outlook, your antivirus or firewall can be preventing you from attaching potentially harmful files. Disable them for a while and try again.

Turn on sounds in Windows Control Panel.\n\nSet the right option in Outlook/Outlook Express/Thunderbird

download the updated version of windows installer, it does that if you do the sp2 update and not the installer

Apparently this happens when you do not have a default email program on your system. What you need to do is allow your system to sort it out for itself.\n\nHsve a look at this site, which talks you through the problem and provides screenshots to help you: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/defaultbrowser.mspx

If you have the installation CDs for Microsoft Office, you simply have to insert the cd and follow the prompts, just accept the defaults.  You need a code to install the software -- they do this to make sure you paid for the software.\n\nIf you don't have the MS Office cd's, try the free version of Outlook -- outlook express.  Most pc's come with this already installed.  Otherwise you can get it free from Microsoft.com
