I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

My victory is xp professional ver 2002 service pack 3

It's usually easy to fix, but if you removed all the dll and inf files, you can have a bunch of other problems that you have not yet discovered.

If you mean when you try to use Add/Remove Windows components you see a message like this:

Install was not able to load the master file.
The application could not be initialized.

This happens because this file is missing:

c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf

There is no copy backup of this file on your system and run the System File Checker will not replace the missing file (sorry, that Microsoft committed Support Engineer 'experts').

You will need to get a real copy of your XP bootable installation CD or from a reliable source.

There's a copy on my SkyDrive, you can download - here's how:

I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

You can download it and when you do, put a copy of the file in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

c:\Windows\Inf

Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file named sysoc when the name of the file should really be called sysoc.inf (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

You must then copy and paste the downloaded folder appropriate on your system.

    Hello

    Try the following and see if it helps.

    I suggest you perform a disk check and check if it helps.

    See the following steps:

    a. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    b. click the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    c. click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click Find now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    d. to automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.

    e. to carry out a thorough, check select search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    f. to check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    g. click on start.

    Note: When running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    Note: Make sure also that you have disconnected all external devices except the keyboard and mouse.

    Note: If you are always faced with the question then I suggest you to upgrade on the spot and check if it helps.

  • Remove labview 2009 without using Add/Remove program

    Hi all

    I have problem with the removal of LabVIEW 2009.

    I deleted some folders in the C drive, folder OR.

    Now I can't start my LabVIEW 2009 and it does not appear in my Add/Remove Programs list.

    I tried to delete all the folders and files in the C drive under folder OR, but the pop out error message shows that I don't have the authority to do so.

    So, how can I remove it completely?

    I had intended to reinstall LabVIEW 2009 after that I have completely removed.

    Very much appreciate your help.

    That's why I say try to reinstall LabVIEW. He could just do a repair of your installation. Then, you can use Add/Remove programs to uninstall completely.

    But when you uninstall completely there will be folders OR remaining. These are things like user.lib.

    Have you tried to reinstall the runtime?

    One last thing. I don't know how you got your installation so messed up, but remember that if you build a Setup program you should not install on a system with the development environment. There are so many things that can go wrong.

  • Lost uninstall in Add/Remove programs

    Hi, I seem to have lost the procedure to uninstall a program in Add/Remove programs. It only shows the function of the Organization in the upper part. I select a program, and there is nothing to click on uninstall. Vista Home Basic is on my Pc which has been preloaded. It worked ok before. Also, I can't go back to a previous restore point. I downloaded Revo for the moment. But I would like to have the original back function. Any ideas appreciated.
