SP2 Installation Issue

[M]

Hey,

I have recently tried to install SP2 on my Inspiron 1100.
I go through the "extracting files.." part. ( I am not
using the Web version, but rather a version I have on CD).

Once this completes however, setup begins to run. But I
get a "The system cannot find the file specified"
message. This is followed by an "installation did not
complete" message.

Thanks in advance

Try this:

Try re-registering the following .dll files
Softpub.dll
Wintrust.dll
Initpki.dll
Urlmon.dll

1. Click Start >Run and type
regsvr32 Softpub.dll
Click okay to register it
You should get a dialog box telling you that it was successful.
2. Repeat the process for the other .dll files.
3. Restart your computer and try the update site again.

that should do it. Worked for me. I was trying to fix some ActiveX
problems and it fixed this problem too.
