Not a valid MSI?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I sent someone an MSI for testing but when they run it (Windows XP) it says
it is not a valid installer and that he should contact his vendor.

I can't find a solution to this on Google. Does anyone know what is causing
this and what I should do?


Thanks

Pete
