Upgrade to XP Professional

[Dr. Bob]

I purchased XP Professional with the intention of
upgrading my XP Home Edition. I get the error message

UNREGMPZ.EXE Entry Point Not Found
The proceedure entry point get IUMS could not be located
in the dynamic link library MSDART.DLL

What do I need to do?

Thank you!!

When the problem occurs, press Shift +F10 to bring up the
command prompt. Then type taskmgr.exe in the DOS window
and press Enter. The Task Manager should be started. If
not, try to press C+Shift+ESC. In the Task Manager
program, select the error messsage window in the
application list and click "End Task". In the process
list, terminate the unregmp2.exe program. Exit the DOS
prompt window and resume the installation process.

I assume you bought XP Pro (Upgrade or Full) retail version - OEM version
cannot be used to do an upgrade, just a clean install.
