Error messages when trying to install IIS components on Windows XP

I was getting the following error message when tried to install IIS componentes:

“Setup cannot copy the file staxmem.dl_”

It was showing the error even after providing proper location of the file in WindowsXP installation CD. Finally, I found a solution in microsoft support site. According to the site, it could cause if the secedit.sdb in %windir%\security\database\ got damaged. To fix the secedit.sdb, do the following steps:

1. Make a backup copy of the secedit.sdb file.
2. Open a command prompt by clicking Start, Run, and then typing “cmd” and pressing Enter.
3. Type or copy and paste the following command
esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb
and press Enter. Click “OK” when presented with “Repair” warning. Wait for repair to finish.

In my case, I installed a Virtual CD Rom software and seems to me that it caused the damage in secedit.sdb file.
