IIS install error on XP Pro - Error loading Aspperf.dll

I grabbed the actualy XP installation CD and ran the "Install Optional
Windows Components" from there, still getting the file copy errors below,
but the first dialog I get is now "Error loading
c:\windows\system32\Aspperf.dll"

If this rings any bells, I sure would appreciate hearing any suggestions,
this is driving me nuts.

And, ran the install as "Administrator" no dice, same error msg.

Thanks in advance!

***************

I am trying to get IIS to run on my windows xp pro laptop.

When going to setup/add-remove programs/add remove windows components:

It looks as if IIS is installed, the box is checked, but I do not see W3SVC
or any other web server type name in services plugin.

Clicking "next" in the add/remove windows components box, with the defaults
checked (indcludes iis), it prompts me for zClientm.exe. I put the XP
install CD in, point to the i386 dir on it, add/remove doesn't like this.

So, I try to simply uninstall IIS by unchecking iis box in add remove, no
luck, prompted for zClientm.exe again.

I even expanded the contents of i386\*.??_ locally, setup does not like the
expanded files either.

Please help!!

Thanks in advance!

Derrick

And... one other bit of info, I have the .NET framework 1.1 and .NET visual
studio installed if that makes any difference...

To resolve the problem:

1. Open a CMD prompt.
2. Type the following commands:

cd /d %SystemRoot%\System32
unlodctr w3svc
unlodctr asp
unlodctr inetinfo
unlodctr msftpsvc
lodctr w3ctrs.ini
lodctr axperf.ini
lodctr infoctrs.ini
lodctr ftpctrs.ini

Hi Carey -

Thanks for the suggestion, tried all the commands you listed, same result
when trying to install IIS.

I'm thinking it has something to do with .NET Framework/Visual Studio
installing *pieces* of IIS?

Thanks again

Derrick
