"Setup Cannot Copy the File Staxmem.Dll" Error Message

"Setup Cannot Copy the File Staxmem.Dll" Error Message

My god... It almost landed me in the midst of nowhere.

I was performing a repair of Windows XP and at a particular point, I got stuck up.

This staxmem.dll problem.

I could see the file in i386 folder of the CD as well as in Directory... but the copy error remained despite of my efforts to get the file from alternate locations.

Then I consulted Google- my ultimate Guru- and found so many pages with such problems.

Mostly answered by MVPs and other Masters of Computer Scince........ but all the solutions lead me again to the same dead end.

Then I saw this,
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1425385/setup_cannot_copy_the_file_staxmemdll.html

In fact, his was not the answer exactly I needed to my problem, but something like that .

So, I derived a way out of that solution to solve my problem.

Here during the installation, I activated a Command Prompt.

(How to do that...? See my Next Post....!)

Now give the following command on the Command Prompt:-

esentutl /g %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb
Enter
Now things happen as you see in the fllowing screenshot.

Now give the next command in the Command Prompt:-

esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb

The following Warning Message is displayed:-

Give OK and the following things happen as shown in the Screenshot.

When the Command completes.....

Press the 'Retry' Button on the Copy Error Message Box (First Picture).

There won't be any Staxmem.dll error and the file get installed easily....

Wow and now my installation is complete.....

Thanks to the one who provided me a clue......

TELNET IN WINDOWS 7- HOW TO GET IT?

When you go to a command prompt in Windows 7 and give our way old Telnet command, oh.... it says "Telnet is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

Don't worry... Telnet is not enabled in Windows 7 by default. It is very easy to bring Telnet back in action. Follow the steps....
Start Menu > Control Panel > Programs and Features
On the left side border, you will find "Turn Windows features on or off".
Click it and the folowing window appears.

Select Telnet Client (As Underlined in the picture)
Press OK.
A Progress Bar that shows the configuration appears and completes itself.
Now close everything...
Go to a Command Prompt....
and
Telnet.
Ya it is there....

Interesting and more over annoying message. This is a nightmare for Sysadmins and Backup Operators mainly observed in Windows 2003 Servers and XP. Let's resolve it by following the below points exactly:- All the following commands are to be executed on a Commpand Prompt.




(1) On Command Prompt type vssadmin list writers
The following screen opens.



(2) If there is no such display comes, C:\Regsvr32 ole32.dll
(3) Run Step-1
(4) cd %windir%\system32
(5) Net stop vss (message displays as service stopped)
(6) Net stop swprv
(7) regsvr32 ole32.dll (for every successful command, the following screen appears)



(8) regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
(9) regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
(10) vssvc /register (MySQL repairs itself. Do not interrupt).
(11) regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
(12) regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll (or) regsvr32 eventcls.dll
(13) regsvr32 es.dll
(14) regsvr32 stdprov.dll
(15) regsvr32 vssui.dll
(16) regsvr32 msxml.dll
(17) regsvr32 msxml3.dll
(18) regsvr32 msxml4.dll
(19) net start vss
(20) net start swprv

That's all and this should solve the problem.
Now run the backup and see for the difference.
