koc.inf

[Hiro]

When I try to use Add/remove Windows Componets, I get this error. Setup was
unable to open information file koc.ing. The specific error code is 0x2 at
line 0.
I looked for the file koc.inf in the Windows CD - i386, but it does not
exist. This problem started only after I applied SP3 (Windows download). My
guess is the file koc.inf is included in SP3. But I can not retrieve this
file. Does anyone have this file and forward it to me? And I am going to burn
it on a CD. I am thinking about doing: Expand F:\i386\<koc.in_> C:\Windows\inf

Hiro, have you resolved your issue? I have same problem with my pc,
and i can't find koc.inf anywhere. i have checked my co-worker's pc,
they don't have koc.inf, but they have no problem of add/remove
windows components.
please let me know if you know the answer.

thanks

Hello Leo:

No I didn't find a solution. I did a fresh re-install and now every thing is
working fine.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!

The koc.inf is located in the SP3 package itself, but for some reason
it does not install correctly. Here is how I worked it out. Find
Koc.in_ in the ic folder of i386 in the SP3 file ( I used WinRar).
Extract and place in the .inf folder in your Windows directory. If
you click on Add/Remove now, you will now get an error saying it could
not start Koc.dll. Fine. Next go on line and locate a copy koc.dll.
BE SAFE. Download from a known site and then scan the file BEFORE
install. Place the koc.dll file in your Windows/System32 folder.
BINGO, you are back in business!

Microsoft still has not given any response to requests for help on
this problem. Maybe it is the "XP is no lobger actively supported"
nonsense starting.

Another workaround ...

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!
Go to Windows\inf folder (make sure all hidden folders are shown). Open the
file Sysoc.inf in Nortepad> Go to the line that contains the missing file
name e.g. games.inf and delete that line. Save the file and relaunch
Add/Remove Windows componets. If another file is reported missing go back to
Sysoc.inf and remove the line that refoers to it. Save and relaunch the
Add/Rem Windows comp. Ultimately the process is going to start normally.

When altering INF files we do not have to delete
entries. A semicolon in the leftmost column of a line
; like this
deactivates the whole line. When we edit thus, we
maintain in the file a record of what it formerly
included (which might be helpful in future.)
