dtSearch uses the Windows Installer service for installation.  The dtSearch setup program will automatically install the current version if your system does not have the Windows installer, so for most users simply running dtSearch setup is sufficient.  However, if the Windows installer is damaged on your system, you may need to reinstall.  You can also get the Windows Installer software directly from Microsoft using the links below.
