Add/Remove Windows Components error

**Irish Shark** · August 4th, 2004, 12:27 AM

Hi All,

Have a computer in that all is working great...however, when accessing the "Add/Remove Programs" through "Control Panel". I get the following error when I click on the "Add/Remove Windows Components"

Setup library fp40ext.dll could not be loaded, or function FrontPage4Extentions could not be found.
Contact your system administrator. The specific error code is 0x7e.

Best as I can tell....it has something to do with USB. But I am probably wrong. Any help would be apreciated.

Front page extensions? That's to do with web pages!

it is found in sysoc.inf Or should be!

Assuming that this error message is similar You need to ensure that the %systemroot% is changed to c:\windows or c:\winnt depending on which os....if you follow my drift here.

OK,
The OS is WinXP Home (Service Pack 1). The fp40ext.dll is located in two folders on C:\

C:\Windows\System32\Setup

and

C:\Windows\SevicePackFiles\i386 (version 4.0.2.6513)

I am unclear as to what it is that needs to be done.
