piaqt Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 When I try to open the windows components tab in add\remove, I get the following error message:Setup was unable to open information file wmaccess.inf. Contact your system headministrator. The specific error code is 0xe0000003 at line 0.Same thing happens when I try the setup CD. I'm running SP2 RC1.

Wasim Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 i guess this could be a bug in SP2...am i right in saying it could have corrupted that file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoe Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 wmaccess.inf - this file should be in your %WINDIR%\inf\ folder.The file is corrupted like Wasim said or simply not there.To resolve your problem...1) Take your SP2 RC1 and extract the filesXPSP2.EXE –x:C:\SP2RC12) Locate wmaccess.in_ and decompressEXPAND -r wmaccess.in_3) Put it back to the inf folderThis problem should be solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I got the same message, but for wmpcoem.inf. Did the same for that file.Now, when I go to add\rem windows components, I don't get the component tree. It goes directly to "setup is inspecting your configuration and installing the components you selected".And I still can't access the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoe Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 The last tips I can give you is to download SP2 RC2 and install. But I know there's new bugs about Windows Components with this new service pack. If it don't work I'm out of ideas.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
