An error occurred loading x\outlook express\xxx.dll. The file may not

this problem is driving me insane. I have tried everything to get around this issue (wellll obviously not EVERYTHING...).

here is what i get at t-13:

"An error occurred loading x\xxxx\filename.dll. The file may not have been installed or it has been corrupted"

The interesting thing, is that the dialog that pops up this message has the title "Windows Update".

I get the error message for the following files:

c:\program files\outlook express\oeimport.dll

c:\program files\outlook express\oemiglib.dll

c:\program files\outlook express\wabfind.dll

can someone help out with this. Where could this error come from? i am NOT using NLite.
