CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying 00010004.ci to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Office CI files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing 00010004.ci and all other CI files for Office. An incorrectly installed CI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
