This .msi for Microsoft Lync is corrupt. Where can I contact Microsoft about this?

It's not corrupt for me.  It installed fine.  Please try on a different Windows image.

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, I'm working inside a large company and the computer's settings prohibit running the .msi directly (i.e., requires administrative privileges). The companys instructions say "This is a MSI package which requires admin. If you extract the .msi, you can directly run the utility. However, only a few files unzip before I get a corruption error. Any ideas? (Does the same happen for you? Normally .msis can be extracted just fine, but something is wonky with this one. This is what I mean by corrupted. I expect only others in a similar situation as myself have this issue.)

Thanks.

Hi Avalanche,

I have no problem with extracting the MSI package.

Did you use this method to extract the MSI package ?

Best regards,

Eric

I'm just not experiencing the issue, I think the package is fine.  Please try re-downloading and running the extraction on a different Windows image.

No, I did not use this method. This did the trick. Thank you very much, Eric! =)
