How can expand original DLL files?

[Guest]

Seems like such an obvious thing, but I cannot locate help on this anywhere.
I think my msdart.dll files are corrupt. How do I get the clean files
(msdart.dl_ ) to expand off the Windows CD ?
thanks

From the CMD prompt you can use EXPAND.EXE - it's in the
C:\Windows\System32 folder which is in the path usually
and can be used from anywhere. Try typing EXPAND /? for
info on its use . . .

Good Luck !

Open a command prompt window.
Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK
Insert your XP CD into the drive and enter the following (Copy and Paste)
command:

EXPAND -R X:\I386\msdart.dl_ Z:\WINDOWS\system32\msdart.dll

Then hit your Enter key.

NOTE:
Change X to = your CD drive letter
Change Z to = your hard drive letter

Hi, Scot.

There is a new version of msdart.dll (151,552 bytes, dated 8/4/04) in SP2.
Have you installed SP2 yet?

WinXP keeps a "known good" copy of each operating system file in its
dllcache on your hard drive. When you run the System File Checker, it
compares the working copy of each file to the one in this cache and replaces
any missing or damaged ones. If necessary, it updates the cache from the
original WinXP CD-ROM or from the ServicePackFiles folder. To run the SFC,
type: sfc /scannow
