I installed SP3 and have all other updates installed. Then, when I
tried to install IIS, I got the error message "Setup cannot copy
the file staxmem.dll" It then asks me to insert the Windows XP
Service Pack 3 CD and points to the following location to copy
files from - "c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386"
I did not have an SP3 CD, so I downloaded and installed a new
staxmem.dll file but I still got the same error message when I
trried to install IIS.
I uninstalled SP3 and rebooted but I still get the same error
message.
How do I get IIS to install?

Integrate SP3 into your Windows XP installation CD.
Use the resultant new CD to install IIS...
(Google "Integrate SP3 into Windows XP" and/or "slipstream service
pack into Windows XP"...)

Even if I had a Windows XP Pro CD, exactly how do you integrate SP3
with this CD? There would be no more room on the XP Pro CD.

Did you bother googling as suggested?

Now that's a smart and professional advice!
I wouldn't even dare to translate that "MS-MVP", it's all clear to
everyone. (c:
This is a well known problem, just another MS screw up. What a
waste...!
How is the OPs inability to integrate Windows XP SP3 (which came out 6 or so
years after the initial OS release) into their own CD an "MS Screw Up"?
Or - are you trying to state that an inability to install IIS 6.x onto a
Windows XP SP3 system with a Windows XP CD that is pre-SP3 (possibly
pre-any-service-pack) is a "MS screw up"?
Or - are you saying that the OP should not expected to be intelligent enough
to figure out how to utilize an Internet search engine given the exact
search terms to use and only needing to get to the actual Internet search
engine itself to utilize it? Or that I should not treat the OP like they
are likely intelligent enough to do so?
Or how about - given your response is 2+ months later - you include the OPs
response to the above and the further correspondence for the complete story:

Do I unistall SP3 first. If I do, what other files/folders do I
still need to manually clean up after the unistall of SP3?
OOPS! I neglected to click to see your response. I will Google and
execute the process and let you know what happens

nLite should make Slipstreaming/Integrating easy for you - if you
want to go that route.
For the thread in its entirety (from 8/29/2008 until 11/21/2008 at this
time) can be found archived indefinitely here:
http://groups.google.com/group/micr...q=Can't+Install+IIS+with+and+then+without+SP3
So - I am unsure what part of my (a volunteer) giving advice to someone (the
OP) and helping them not only figure out their problem - but giving them the
tools to utilize in the future to solve the other problems bound to come up
surrounding their usage of whatever technology they decide to use is
considered a "waste" or a "MS Screw up"...
I am interested to find out though - given the whole story presented above.
