I purchased a license to install a copy of Windows XP Home Upgrade on a second computer yesterday and started to install the upgrade disk on a desktop currently running Windows ME. The disk had barely started to run when I received the following message: The file D:\I386\WINNT32.A.DLL could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Also when I run the compatability option on the starting menu I get the following message: The option to upgrade will not be available at this time because Setup was unable to load the file D:\I386\WIN9XUPG\W95UPG.DLL. This is the same upgrade disk that loaded and upgraded my laptop running Windows 98 SE flawlessly. Can anyone offer a suggestion how I should proceed? Thanks for any help.
