Search Companion file missing

[123]

When I run search in the start menu, a msg "a file that
is required to run Search Companion cannot be found. You
may need to run setup." Is there other way round this
problem for preinstalled notebook that have no setup CD?

Hi 123,

Have a look at this MSKB article, "Error Message: A File That Is Required
to Run Search Companion Cannot Be Found":

Hi

If you have a folder on your hard disk/partition named i386 try the
following:

tried it but none of the solution worked, the patch only
work on machine without service pack.
