Fix for Computer Management and Search Companion after Ad-Aware Scan

D

DanX

This fix is intended to be used if you get both of the following
errors:

"A file that is required to run search companion cannot be found. You
may need to run setup"

after trying to open the search tab, and

"MMC cannot open the file c:\windows\system32\compmgmt.msc"

after trying to right-click My Computer and selecting manage or by
going to Admin Tools under the Start menu.

Ad-Aware removes the files MSXML3.DLL, MSXML3R.DLL, and/or MSXML3A.DLL
from c:\windows\system32 folder as being part of begin2search.

I'm not sure if these files are different for each version of IE, but I
do know copying the files from XP Pro SP2 will work with XP Home SP2.
After copying all files, run "regsvr32 MSXML3.DLL". They can also be
found in IE6 setup files IEMIL_3.cab and IEW2K_4.cab.
