So I did a Repair Install, and several errors occured, the popups:
Title bar: COM+ Setup Error
sub-component COM+ raised an exception while processessing the OC_COMPLETE_INSTALLATION set up message.
d:\nt\com\com1x\src\complussetup\comsetup\csetuputil.cpp (line 3406)
Error code = 0x8007007f
The specified procedure could not be found.
Failed to load the library 'C:\windows\system32\catsrv.dll'
I clicked OK, it went back to installing.
Then, while registering components, I got four errors, one right after the other, and all
Title bar: Windows Update
an error occurred loading "path and name"
The file may not have been installed or it has been corrupted.
for these files
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\directdb.dll"
"C:\Windows\System32\inetcomm.dll"
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msoe.dll"
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\wab32.dll"
I clicked OK, it finished. I restarted the computer and it hung on the Windows XP screen.
I can start in safe mode (but not with networking). It takes a while--about 5 minutes. It looks like it hangs but it does go into Safe Mode.
My question is--what should I do now? I am wondering if the problem with the repair install is my Dell Reinstallation CD, because the first error hints there is an error with a file on the CD-drive d during the install. Or is the problem with the harddrive and I'm looking at a full re-install (which I am hoping not to have to do but....). Or, perhaps both.
I copied the SETUPERR.LOG below and have the SETUPLOG.TXT, but it is >500k, so I have attached a trimmed version, in which I cut out lines of file operations that were not flagged as problems.
Info on the machine: 2002 vintage OptiPlex GX260T, 2.4GHz, 1G (2x512, 266MHz), 40GB EIDE. Had been giving no trouble.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
