My bad. I forgot to look in "Common FIles". Once I did this, I still
wasn't able to find the \Developer\7\Inter32 subfolder. But I did
find a \Driver\7\Intel32 subfile and the IDriver.exe within that. I
was also able find msie.exe. I ran /REGSERVER for both of these. The
result was a short view of the hourglass and then nothing. I am
presuming (hoping) that this is what was supposed to happen.
Now: If I could only find Isscrpt.msi anywhere on my system. There
is no apparent c:\Program Files\InstallSHield folder on my computer.
Help! (sob, sob)
