The procedure entry point GetIUMS could not be located

[TripleRLtd]

"The procedure entry point GetIUMS could not be located in the dynamic link library msdart.dll" Just a heads up on this issue with XP repair installs. Some people report having to click OK dozens of times. I had the same issue just now but went to check with a Google. When I went back to the pc it was finishing the install after I had only clicked like three times. Seems XP needs to think about it for a couple minutes first and approve the OK. The issue has to do with repairing a SP1 install with the original and has to do with Media Player being "downgraded". Thought this might help others who have to do a search for this issue. In other words: click OK once, and then give it some time: walk away and have a cuppa or whatever. Then, all should be well. One of these days MS will have answered or fixed this problem.

EDIT:
Since two months ago there have been other "solutions" found for this issue, so read on to the end or click here:

Further EDIT:
For those who do not enjoy a "cuppa" or doubt this works, or, better yet, who don't feel like wasting anymore time with this, try this, which I already alluded to in the previous link:

1. Press Shift+F10 to open up a DOS box
2. Type taskmgr.exe and press ENTER from the command line
3. When the task mananger opens, select the Processes tab
4. Select the unregmp2.exe and end it
5. Click the Applications tab
6. Select the error window and click End Task
7. The window will close, you can exit your DOS box, and continue installation
