missing WinHTTP.dll appears installing adobe flash player.i

missing WinHTTP.dll appears installing adobe flash player.can't read on cause disk installation of scratch.can I download? If so where? / Thank you.

If missing winhttp.dll, some Services from Microsoft (and others) just will not start:

BITS service (Background Intelligent Transfer Service)
Automatic Update Service (it crashes you try to start)

You can see things like this in the Event Viewer log system:

Service
Cannot start Service on Local computer Background Intelligent Transfer.
Error: 126: the specified module could not be found
Event type: error
Event source: Service Control Manager
Event category: no
Event ID: 7023
Description:
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service is completed with the following error:
The specified module could not be found.

The automatic updates Service hang and displays "Start" in the Services applet:

Event type: error
Event source: Service Control Manager
Event category: no
Description:
Automatic Updates service hung on starting.

Some products Adobe also will not work, like the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5ServiceManager Service Manager (and perhaps other Adobe startup items) not start and displays error message like this:

CS5.5ServiceManager.exe - Unable to locate component
This application has failed to start because WINHTTP.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Running sfc/scannow will not replace the winhttp.dll file missing.  I know because I tried.  It's just another wild goose chaseSupport Engineer.

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, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

c:\Windows\System32
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

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

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 called winhttp when the name of the file should really be called winhttp.dll (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 then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

Sfc/scannow will not replace the winhttp.dll file missing, but it will be a frustrating waste of time and a technician to support running wild goose chase.  Technical support engineers are hired by Microsoft if you hope that someone would know better.

It's a shame that the technical support engineer did not his own advice to "check how it works.
