Windows Defender installed with GDI+ now class no recognized issue



Managed to get Defender installed on a Windows 2000 professional SP4
machine, with the GDI+ update from Microsoft , installed the
gdiplus.dll into %systemroot\System32 as per instructions.

Defender installed ok, rebooted, the program will load, but when it
attempts to update its signature files I get a "Windows Defender is
unable to complete the update; 0x80040154, class not recognized" and
the program won't update.

The signature version listed is 1.0.0.0 built 2006-01-25, 1:29pm, as
this is Beta program, has anyone been able to update this program using
Windows 2000?

I placed the gdiplus.dll into the system32 file, but I was reading in
the redist.txt file from the GDI+ download that for Windows 2000;
"For Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0 and
Windows 98, install gdiplus.dll into the private directory of the
application not into the system directory. " Not sure what they are
meaning, and I have seen other posts to ignore this and place the dll
into the system32 folder.
