One of our development guys was trying to install IIS on his PC. During the install process he was prompted to enter the Windows XP cd as the staxmem.dll could not be found.
“Copy error
Setup cannot copy the file staxmem.dl_.
Ensure that the disk labeled ‘Windows XP Professional Service pack 2 CD’ is in the drive selected below, or provide the location where the file can be found.”
Unfortunately even with the disc in the system was adamant that it could not find the file (even though we could browse to it manually).
To fix this problem the following command has to be run (start > run then copy and paste the following):
esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb
When prompted click Yes.
Now try the install again.
