Hello. Can anyone offer advice on this problem? In brief, I am trying to
install IIS on my XP Pro with SP2 PC (via Control Panel -> Add Windows
Components), and tells me it needs admxprox.dll from the SP2 CD. However,
there is not admxprox.dll on the SP2 CD.
Many more details follow...
I'm nearly sure that I had upgraded to SP2 via an automatic download.
Nonetheless, when I tried to install IIS (via Add Windows Components), I was
told to insert the Service Pack 2 CD, which I didn't So I borrowed one from a
friend, and inserted it when the installation process told me to, but still
no luck. So I double clicked the SP2 CD to explore it, and got the Autoplay
program, which wanted to install SP2, do I permitted it to do so and
restarted as required.
Once again I tried to install IIS, and once again it asked for the Service
Pack
2 CD. This time it was trying to find a file called admxprox.dll, which I
believe
is actually different from the one it was asking for the first time (whose
name
I've forgotten), so maybe the installation of Service Pack 2 got us further
along.
For what it's worth, the IIS installation program defaults to F:\i386 as the
place to browse for admxprox.dll (where F is, in fact, the drive letter of
the CD drive where I inserted the Service Pack 2 CD). Unfortunately there is
no i386 folder on that CD.
There IS an i386 folder in my Windows\System\ServicePackFiles directory, but
alas it contains no file named admxprox.dll. It does contain admexs.dll and
admwprox.dll, both dated 8/4/2004, which I presume must be the approximate
date that SP2 came out.
I then conducted a full virus scan and nothing was found but some cookies,
after which I went through the SP2 Autoplay installation all over again, and
tried yet again to install IIS via Add Windows Components. Same result. It
still wants admxprox.dll.
Note also: Since the computer was sold to me with XP already on it by a
no-name shop, Microsoft refuses to help me for free. The shop who sold it to
me is 1,000 miles from where I live now and I don't even know their phone
number. Nevertheless, my license key for XP is valid, as confirmed by
Microsoft when I had to reinstall after a disk crash.
Please help!
The aforementioned i386 folder has an update date of 2/16/2006 at 9:39 pm,
which
is, in fact, when I let the Autoplay installation program do its thing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
