found this on some site..

what happens if you ignore the error and continue installation, does it work anyways?

according to my source:


the setup program attempts to install the files for those services into the Windows system directory.

The Windows File Protection (WFP) feature of Windows 2000 and Windows XP prevents the replacement or updating of existing system files by anything other than a Microsoft signed hotfix or service pack. On systems in which these supplemental files already exist, which is generally true of Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the attempt to install the files is therefore prevented as expected. The Windows Installer issues the above error message to inform you that the file was not installed. Ignore the error, close the Error window, and continue with the installation. The file already exists on your system.

lemme know if that works, if not we'll try something else
