Missing files at installation

[Guest]

After a hardware problem I had to reinstall XP Pro SP1 from scratch but during the installation a number of files were missing (or couldn't be read from the CD).

The system seems fully functional but I'd like to correct things if poss.

I have a note of all of the 16 missing files. The main grouping seem to be java files, first one was clspack.exe.

Anyone aware if I can repair this problem?

Hi,

PC usually has problem reading files from damaged (e.g. scratched) CDs. If
possible try installing from new CD medium.

clspack.exe for one is often amongst a group deleted by a some trojans.
For example, - c:\WINDOWS\ASD.EXE, CLEANMGR.EXE , CLSPACK.EXE, CONTROL.EXE,
CVTAPLOG.EXE, DEFRAG.EXE , EMM386.EXE
Possibly that's why you had to reinstall SP1.

Have you run a full virus scan?

Hi John

I did run a full Norton scan after installation which came up clean.

It sounds as if you are missing the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Go here and

Greetings --

Are you sure that you've completely resolved your hardware
problem?

Problems copying files or corrupted files during installation
are most often caused by defective or sub-standard hardware; in order
of likelihood, either RAM, the hard drive, or the motherboard. On
much less frequent occasions, a bad CD or defective CD drive can also
cause this.
