add ons not adding on

[Jim]

I have been trying to add on some of the extra Windows
components and everything seems to be going fine until
the process stops and says " cannot locate
<filename>.dll" but the file is on the CD except that the
extension is .dl_
How do I fix the problem?

From a command prompt, type "expand", use "/?" for help on the
command.

If this is a Windows component and I am using the
Microsoft XP CD, why will it not recognize the files
automatically? It used to, and the only thing different
is that I have added SP2 recently.

Could be related. Have you asked this question at the beta boards?
