Windows XP Pro, SP2:

As my fax service didn't work I wanted to reinstall it. So I uninstalled it
(Control panel - Software) but have now the problem, that Windows cannot
install it again. Windows stops during installation with the message "File
fxscom.dll cannot be copied" (translated from German).

It wants to copy the file from the "c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386"
directory. The file is in fact there. It is also in the system32 and
dllcache directory where it boviously is protected because whenever I try to
delete it there it will be automatically created again.

Any hints?

Christian
