Today I was going to install MS Visual Studio again in order to freshen up my .NET knowledge (not that I really like .NET anyway :P).

When trying to install I was informed that I would need IIS installed also. So I searched for my Windows XP SP2 disc and started the update.

It didn’t get that far, I was asked for a file staxmem.del_ all the time and although it was on the disc it wouldn’t accept it.

The solution I found is running this command from Start > run (windows key + R)

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