Windows XP Pro Install Problem

I have tried to upgrade my Windows Me to Windows XP Pro
and have so far failed to accomplish this.
The reason is that it continually fails to copy the
file "shell32.dll". This prevents the installation from
being successful.
I have tried running the installation CD from a slower
drive with no success. I have copied the I386 directory to
my hard drive and run setup from there with no success.
I have even manually copied the file to the system
directory and was informed that it was not a valid file.
What the heck is the problem here??
 
Wilson,
I just successfully upgraded from ME to XP also. I selected a clean
install, not the upgrade and it worked fine. have you tried that option?
Good luck,
Ben
