From the thread "Windows XP Fax Services Does Will not install"

Without knowing what exactly happens when you attempt to intall the
Fax service, the best I can suggest is this page:

2. Why can't the XP Fax Installation Program find the Installation
Files?

I hope you don't mind me hijacking the tread. I have a similar problem
but in trying to follow the advice from the above link, it directs me to
"Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor, which is in the system folder" however it
does not appear to me in my system folder.

Any ideas there. I am showing hidden and system files, but I can't find
it. Do you know what the actual file name is?

Note: I duplicated this information starting a new thread because the
original thread was old and may not be seen. I will Monitor both threads so
don't bother responding to both.
 
The Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor is named "wextract.exe", however, there's
no convenient way to use it. The same thing can be accomplished with
expand.exe (c:/windows/system32/expand.exe). From a command prompt, "Expand
/?" will give you the command line switches to use with it.
