what sort of error message is this?

[John Semple]

it's something I've never seen before and doesn't let me install some
microsoft stuff

Error creating process c:\docume~1\NUT\Local
Settings\Temp\IXP000.TMP\javatrig.exe /l exe_install /vercheck>. Reason:
INDOWS\system32\advpack.dll

That's a message a get when trying to install microsoft java but it happens
for other things too.

Nobody? I do need a bit of help fixing this little prob. Sorry to seem
impatient.

Don't know if this is the same sort of thing but might be worth a go.

I guess that page isn't the solution. Can't seem to find that advpack in any
of the *.cab files. *screams*
