WIn ME Update Problem - The MSIEXEC.EXE file is linked to missing export MSI.DLL:222

Tried to use MS Win Update for Win ME.

Told me I had to Install the latest version of the Microsoft XML Parser from the Microsoft Download Center.

Downloaded Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0 Service Pack.

When running received an error message.

Message is:

Error Starting Program

The MSIEXEC.EXE file is linked to missing export MSI.DLL:222

------------------------------------------------------------

Any help on what to do next?

Thanks!!!

The MSIEXEC.EXE file is linked to missing export MSI.DLL:222

Catch-22????
