It tells me that windows installer cant execute the install file. It tells that it requires a service pack with a newer version of windows installer.

How can I solve this?

Thank you

It's a Windows Installer 2.0, look for "InstMsiA.exe" on this archived microsoft website.

It (and other software) requires Windows Installer 2.0 aka instmsi.exe
If you install the later versions of Office (97 up I think) it'll automatedly update.

Or from Internet Archive, which includes the original download description from MS's website.

I recommend you to delete it
