regedit

[celeste_kroft]

Ok... I am trying to instal Yahoo! Messenger, and I get the following error: Could not execute external program
C:/Window/regedit
Now is there a way I can get regedit.exe? I think somehow it was deleted... can I download it from anywhere? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi celeste_kroft

'Could not execute the external program REGEDIT' appears.

The program REGEDIT.EXE is used by the installation program to update the windows registry database to include entries required by the program, and this message appears if the installation procedure is unable to complete this process.

Suggested action :

The current suggestion is to search for the file REGEDIT.EXE in the C:\WINDOWS directory. If this file is missing, see if you can extract it from your CDROM. Or you can dowload from this site: HouseCall (http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~flibble/regsmall.html>Regedit.exe</a>
