Problem Installing IIs

[Guest jon L]

HI,

I received a new Dell optiplex GX620 with a corporate load of XP

professional and service pack II on it. My prior machine was an XP pro with

IIS on it So I attempt to upgrade as I did a few years back with my prior

box. I go to add/remove programs -> add windows component -> iis. It starts

copying then says "setup cannot copy staxmem.dll" . I enter in a cd with a

copy of Windows XP service Pack II". No dice. I then search my box and find

two directories with staxmem.dll in them C:\windows\system32;

C:\windows\ServicePackfiles\i386. I try feeding these to the copy error

dialogue . It just keeps repeating the error for the same file. I go to our

network admin . He says I am on drugs and starts to load IIS on his box no

problem. When the diagologue comes up he enters in C:\i386. And has no

problem. SO he copies his I386 to my box. But that does not work either.

I have tried a copy of windows xp pro w/service pack II . Still no dice. If

I skip the file , it just barks at next file. I'm tearing my hair out.

Would appreciate it if any one knows what I could possibly do!

Thanks in advance
