WinXP Fax

[Gene]

I am having the same problem as a previous post. When I
try to install the Fax component, the install asks for
the location of fxscfgwz.dll. The closest I can find on
the CD is I386\fxscfgwz.dl_
When I try to use this file, the system locks up and I
have to reset. I have installed SP1 and searched my hard
drive for fxscfgwz.dll to no avail.
Thank you for any help.

That means that the installation files are still compressed. This is often
the case when the files are pre-copied by a manufacturer on the hard drive.
If you do a search for the files that the installation routine claims are
missing (fxsapi.dll and fxcfgwz.dll) you won't find them, but you will find
fxsapi.dl_ and fxcfgwz.dl_. These are compressed DLL files and will need to
be decompressed. Double click on them and you will get a prompt for the file
to use to open them. Click on BROWSE. and select Win32 Cabinet
Self-Extractor, which is in the system folder. With any luck it will
uncompress them all and make them visible as DLL files. The install routine
still may not find these files. If so, then you must manually direct the
installation routine to the i386 folder that contains these extracted files.
