Hi,
The message refers like one or more files are either missing or corrupt.
Try disabling all running programs (especially antivirus software) and run
this
from the Start -> Run menu:
"rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
C:\Windows\inf\ie.inf"
Note: I have replaced the parameter %windir% with C:\Windows assuming that
XP is installed on C Drive in the Windows FOLDER.
You may be asked to locate a file (iEXPLORE) which should be under the i386
directory on the XP disc.
This should reinstall IE6 and replace any missing or bad files.
OR
If the above setup fails with the same error message, proceed as follows:
1. Open Windows Explorer and go to the directory C:\Windows\inf
2. Locate the "ie.inf" file and right mouse click it, then select Install
from the menu.
If you still get the error message, post back to this thread.
Hope this helps ......

nested

- -
- - "Error in setupapi. Missing entry: InstallHinfSection""

- - Are you able to tell me what this means please?
