I have issues when installing Windows Defender

[Guest]

I have Microsoft Windows 2000. When i try to install I get an installation
error. I've been to the pages http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=915052,
I've moved the GDI + dll file to the system32 directory and downloaded and
installed windows installer. I don't know why it won't run on my machine,
any ideas?

Any user who doesn't have read and execute rights to
\...\system32\gdiplus.dll (the file that Windows Defender said you had to
install to run it under Windows 2000) will get the error you describe. If
you
COPIED the dll into system32, the dll should be assigned the correct
rights,
but if you MOVED it into system32, it will carry along the existing rights
it
had (maybe you were logged in as administrator and decompressed the dll to
your desktop where only the admin had read-execute rights and then MOVED
it).
If you read-execute to everyone, all users will be OK. I hope that helps.
