When the installation routine is unable to find the necessary installation
files (even when directed to the appropriate i386 Folder) it usually means
that the installation files are 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_ (note that an underscore character replaces the last letter of
the filename). 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.

Please have a look at Russ Valentine's reply to a similar problem (posted on
3/1).

Basically you could try a few things -
1. Look for fxsapi.dll in %windir%\i386. if you cna find it there, just
redirect the installer there when it asks you for
the file.
2. The files on your CD include this file, but unfortunately it will be
compressed there. You will find a file like fxsapi.dl_
which you need to decompress using Win32 Cabinet Self Extractor. (It will
probably be suggested automatically when
you try opening the file). You might therefore need to find this file on
your CD, extract it and copy it to %windir%\i386 to get
the installation to complete.
