I'm trying to set fax capability on my laptop which uses
XP Prof. The installation procedure reflects a dialog
box which states:
"The file 'fxscfgwz.dll'on WindowsXP Professional CD-ROM
is needed.

Type the path where the file is located and then click OK.

Copy files from:
C:\WINDOWS\Inf\i386\i386".

I've inserted the WindowsXP Prof CD-ROM into my cd-drive
and notjhing seems to happen. I've also looked in the
folder 'C:\WINDOWS\Inf\i386', but I cannot see any 'i386"
file
 
When the installation routine is unable to find the necessary installation
files (even when directed to the appropriate i386 Folder) it usually means
that the installation files are compressed. This is often the case when the
files are pre-copied by a manufacturer on the hard drive. If you do a search
for the files that the installation routine claims are missing (fxsapi.dll
and fxcfgwz.dll) you won't find them, but you will find fxsapi.dl_ and
fxcfgwz.dl_. These are compressed DLL files and will need to be
decompressed. Double click on them and you will get a prompt for the file to
use to open them. Click on BROWSE. and select Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor,
which is in the system folder. With any luck it will uncompress them all and
make them visible as DLL files. The install routine still may not find these
files. If so, then you must manually direct the installation routine to the
i386 folder that contains these extracted files.
