I'd be pretty surprised if it really wasn't there on the working machines.
Check the spelling and make sure you look in the correct directory if you
have XP installed somewhere else. Or you can use the %windir% variable.

C:>dir %windir%\system32\wkssvc.dll
 Volume in drive C has no label.

 Directory of C:\WINDOWS\system32

10/21/2003 04:06 PM 119,808 wkssvc.dll
               1 File(s) 119,808 bytes
               0 Dir(s) 8,558,628,864 bytes free
