Error "997: Overlapped I/O operation is in progress

[overlandpark4me]

Running XP SP1. XP2 fails because of the installer issue. It let me
install 3.1, but the problem still persists.I'm the admin on the
computer, which is also the only account on the computer. No guest
accounts.




When I try to install a program, it wont go because of the installer
error

I've tried to start the installer service (it's on auto, was manual),
but i gives me the error Error "997: Overlapped I/O operation is in
progress.

I also tried to go though solution at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315353

At the command prompt, typemsiexec.exe /unregister, and then press
ENTER.
Type msiexec /regserver, and then press ENTER.

But I get "An event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers" /

I've tried a repair also.

I really don't want to reinstall XP because of the programs I need and
will have a long time dealing with restoring backups to each app.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Regards, Owen

also, just tried the method where you change the name of the 3 dll
files.

I'm having the same problem and have tryed all suggestions with no results.
Someone suggested it may be a Dcom problem?
