Setting up Fax in the Add/Remove Windows Componets

[Sandy]

When the Wizard tells me to insert my XP Home Addition
Disc it wants a floppy in A drive which I don't have. It
says that "you can also click OK if you want files from an
alternate location such as a compact disc." When I select
the E drive, where the CD is, the file it looks for is
named "fxscfgwz.dll". No such file is found. Does anyone
know how I can configure the fax console? Thanks.

If after inserting the CD into the CD drive (E: in your case), if the
installer asks for a location looking for some file, try browsing into the
i386 folder so that the installation routine can find the necessary files.

Thanks,

Please browse to the i386 folder in your cd and check if this works.

If it still doesn't work, it means that the installation files are
compressed. This is often the case when the files are pre-copied by a
manufacturer on the hard drive. If you do a search for the files that the
installation routine claims are missing (fxsapi.dll and fxcfgwz.dll) you
won't find them, but you will find fxsapi.dl_ and fxcfgwz.dl_ . These are
compressed DLL files and will need to be decompressed. Double click on them
and you will get a prompt for the file to use to open them. Click on BROWSE.
and select Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor, which is in the system folder. With
any luck it will uncompress them all and make them visible as DLL files. The
install routine still may not find these files. If so, then you must
manually direct the installation routine to the i386 folder that contains
these extracted files.
