Problems installing Windows Components!

I'm trying to install the "Internet Information Services (IIS)".  I checked
the component and clicked next when an error message popped up:

Setup cannot copy the file staxmen.dl_.

Copy files from: C:\i386

Apparently all the files in the target folder are in the compressed format
(*.dl_),  this is the same format as the files in the corresponding folder on
the original XP Pro service pack 2, CD.

If I try to skip the file, the very next file comes up with the same "can't
copy" error.

This presents the following questions: shouldn't the installer automatically
convert the files in question, or should the files be converted by some other
software, prior to installation and if so what software would know which of
the .dl_ files to convert for a given component installation?

I had this problem before with a different component and never found a
resolution.

Does anyone know why the "Window Component" installer is failing, and have a
fix?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks, X

What version of the installer are you using?  Perhaps you need a more
current installer version?  Just a thought; it caught me once that way.

I'm simply using the "Add/Remove" utility in the control panel.

Try the solutions in this MSKB:

You may receive the "Setup cannot copy the file staxmem.dll" error
message when you try to install IIS on a computer that is running
Windows XP Professional with SP2

Thanks ju.c,

This is apparently the exact problem I'm having.

I followed the instructions in the link you provided.  Apparently the
database file secedit is ok, so I went to "Method 2".  Everthing went fine up
to the last step:

"xpsp2 /integrate:Drive:\winxp" (which I assume should read xpsp2
/integrate:C:\winxp for my system.

After changing the prompt to drive to D: (as instructed) and trying to run
xpsp2 I received the following error - 'xpsp2' is not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I tried searching for "xpsp2" on both drive C: and the CD_Drive D: without
success.  The closest return on D: was a file called xpsp2res.dl_, but this
is obviously not an executable.

Any suggestions as to how to proceed?

xpsp2 is SP2.

That is, it's the service pack you downloaded.

Unfortunately, that's not it.

All the files were downloaded - in their *.dl_ format.  The last step is to
integrate the files into the the OS (xpsp2/integrate:C:\winxp).  But, when I
go to perform the last step namely xpsp2/integrate:C:\winxp as per the
instructions I get 'xpsp2' is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file."

Here are the last instructions:

5. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
CD_Drive:
Note In this command, CD_Drive is the CD drive where the Windows XP
Professional SP2 CD is located.
6. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
xpsp2 /integrate:Drive:\winxp
7. Install IIS.
8. When you are prompted to locate the Windows XP Professional installation
files, type Drive:\winxp, and then press ENTER.

Step 6. failed as I indicated.

Unfortunately you are incorrect, xpsp2 is the service pack.
