Hello,
We are installing MS SQL server '08 and while installing its giving us the message, "Windows need higher version of Windows installer.. Recommended version: 4.5". How safe will it be to download the installer 4.5 and run it on machine?

I just want to have clarification to this question since Windows installer is OS related. I'm not sure if any change during installing windows installer will affect any serious system level change. We are using Windows XP OS.

Thanks in advance!!

Download it from Microsoft's website and it should be fine.

How safe will it be...

No more dangerous than running Windows XP.
