Installing IIS - Cannot find STAXMEM.DL_
Aug.25, 2006 in
Geeky/Programming
Ahhh, IIS, gotta love it. Nothing can ever be easy.
So, as I am trying to install IIS on my Dell that I just reformatted, I get this:
Cannot find the file STAXMEM.DL_ in my C:\i386 dir. hmm….
well, after a little looking, if you run this command
esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb
If you then retry the install, it should work

Unbelieveable!!!! I have been trying to figure this out for a long time. I am not the “command prompt guru”, so if this helps, I did the following…(not sure if any of this or all of this contributed, but it did finally install!
1) Made sure at the command prompt I was in C:/
2) Forever, I was typing in
esentutl /p c:windows\security\database\secedit.sdb
and getting an error…so I browsed in windows explorer to
C:\WINDOWS\security\Database where I saw a file called Secedit.sdb,.sdb. I made a copy, and named the copy Secedit.sdb
Then back to the command prompt…
esentutl /p c:windows\security\database\secedit.sdb
finally got the Integrity check successful. Then installed ISS successfully.
Thank you all.

1. Copy code from this page
CODE: esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb
2. In windows Goto Start / RUN / and paste the code in the RUN box and click “OK”
If your get a error say “OK” let it do its work.
it will fix the problem.
3. Go back to the menu thats asking for the c:\i386
click restart
It should work and keep installing the file….
This was my steps to fixing the problem..
WOW… it WORKS! ty

You are wizard beyond wizards. I have absolutely no idea how you managed to figure out this fix, but it works. I just copied and pasted into the run command line and off it went. Windows prompts to confirm the action, I just held my breath and clicked to proceed. Worked on an LG P1 running XP Pro SP2.
Thanks!

Thanks very much this sorted me out too - just to clarify (coz i got this wrong a few times) copy and paste this “esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb” into the command prompt - without changing anything.
i was removing the %windir% and typing in what i deduced to be the path to the windows directory on my machine (and it didn’t work) but if you just paste in that string - it works fine
thanks v much
PS Love Curt’s comment - number 20 ;)
