Add Remove Programs closes

[Ken Saltash]

The Add/Remove Programs application in Control Panel
closes immediately it is opened. Is this a known
problem, and can it be fixed?

Hi Ken,

Expand a new copy of it. Start/run msconfig, click on "expand file" (general
tab)

File to expand: appwiz.cpl
From: X:\I386
To: %windir%\system32

Where X is whatever letter is assigned your CD drive (you need your WinXP CD
for this), change it accordingly. If your system was preinstalled, you may
find this instead on the hard drive under C:\Windows\I386. If so, change the
"from" line accordingly. Reboot when finished.
