It's a Windows installer file. You need Windows to open it. Even then I'd probably not open one sent to me in an email!
thanks...short of installing windows, what are my options? can i send the email to a pc with windows, and ask them to send it back as a pdf?
is my inexperience showing?
maybe i could try the original sender---ask him to alter it...

windows only - not that i'd ever open one from a email
what does the msi file contain ? pdf's are not packaged up as msi - it's executable setup files ect.. like office and stuff

Yes, you could have someone on a Windows machine open it. They could not send it back as a PDF. a MSI extension is a program. Do you trust the sender? Sounds like a virus to me....
My first thoughts too. The sender may not even be aware that their machine is infected and that they've sent this out...
oops! not an email thing at all...it's a software download that i purchased...
still stuck with it, though...thanks for your patience, people.

If it's software that you purcashed...you will need to install Windows in order to use it.
thanks, everyone!

downloading windows...oof...
cool place ya got here...next round's on me.

msi - Ipod loader from lastminutedotcom
I've subscribed to a podcast. Portuguese phrase book for iPod from last minute dot com through iTunes, and the installer file is .msi. Obviously won't work on a Mac? odd

iTunes is for OS X and Windows. The program you speak of is for Windows. You'll need to find a alternate similar product for mac.
