Cannot install IIS

I have a Toshiba Laptop running XP Pro that will not allow me to install
IIS.

I get the following error:

Setup cannot copy the file adsutil.vbs

The files are in the IIS6.CAB. In the I386 folder.

The interesting thing is that the file is actually IIS_adsutil.vbs. All the
files are prepended with "IIS_".

How do I get this installed? I need it so that I can get VS 2003 installed.

Toshiba is worthless. They don't supply an OEM version of your OS so when
it asks for the disk - you don't have one. They also won't give you one.
Their only response is to run the Recovery Disk and wipe out your disk.
That's seems to be all they know how to do.

Microsoft is no better. It is their program but they won't talk to you
unless you pay $99. This is just to get it installed. They also will not
supply with the disk you should have since you paid for the OS.

I have spent hours on this problem.

I did try to run the:

esentutl /p %windir%/security/database/secedit.sdb

which didn't help.

Anyone know how to solve this problem? This is the last time I will buy a
toshiba.

Thanks,

Tom
