SP3 can't copy icwutil.dll

[Terry]

I'm installing SP3 via d/l. Got a copy error "Setup cannot copy the file
icwutil.dll Ensure that the location specified below is correct, or change
it and insert "Windows XP system Files" in the drive you specify."


The file location is correct - checked the folder. Clicked Retry twice. If
I d/l a fresh copy of icwutil.dll from MS would this fix the problem?

I've got XP Home SP2 and IE 7.0 running.

Thanks, Terry
