Setup cannot copy the file staxmem.dll - IIS configuration problems

This article is dedicated to those who are unable to configure IIS on Windows XP (SP2) and frequently encounter this error message whenever they try installing IIS,
Error message: Setup cannot copy the file staxmem.dll. Please insert the "Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD".

Don' worry, i got bogged down with this, until recently, i found out cause and solution of this problem..

Cause:
It happens when the secedit.sdb database file in your pc gets corrupted,

Solution:
1.Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2.Type in :
esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb
This will repair the database file.
3. Try to install IIS again...believe me it works and IIS gets installed quickly !!!
