Hi Eric,
I get the same "Access Denied" message when performing the steps in the KB301684
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article (except I was working with a different
$ntuninstall...$ file since I don't have the KB301684 hotfix on my computer):
KB301684 - Lsass.exe Error Occurs After You Install the Windows 2000
High Encryption Pack
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=301684
I was able to workaround the problem by cd'ing to the uninstall directory and copying
the file from it to system32. Specific steps follow:
After following step "7. Type ren advapi32.dll advapi32.old, and then press ENTER."
as found in the KB301684 hotfix article:
- Verify that the rename occurred by typing the following command and then
pressing ENTER:
dir advapi32.old
- Change to the parent directory by typing the following command and then
pressing ENTER:
cd ..
- Change to the directory containing advapi32.dll by typing the following command and
then pressing ENTER:
cd $ntuninstallq274172$
- Copy advapi32.dll from the uninstall directory to the system32 directory by typing
the following command and then pressing ENTER:
copy advapi32.dll c:\winnt\system32
The following message should appear: "1 file(s) copied".
While you are in the Recovery Console you might as well cd (change directory) to the
system32 folder and verify that the copy was successful by running this command:
dir advapi32.dll
Now, as instructed in KB301684, type Exit, press ENTER, and start Windows normally.
