>       1)  Use Windows Explorer to search for the file.
>
>       2)  If the file is found, record its path name; if it is not found,

>       3) Start Registry Editor (Regsv32a.exe).

>
>       5) Correct the path name if it is incorrect; proceed with these

>       7) If the error persists, or if the path name was correct in step 5,

>
>       Regmon:
>
>       a. Download regmon from
> http://www.sysinternals.com/files/ntregmon.zip
>
>       b. Close all other unnecessary programs. Run one of the Build
> programs.
>
>       c. Start Regmon. Before you start the capture, please clear the Log
> first. There is an icon to click to do this in Regmon on the toolbar.
> Also, click Options from the menu bar and select Filters. Replace "*" with
> XBuild.exe (or one of the Build programs) in the Include box so that only
> that program's activity is captured.
>
>       d. The utility is used to log activity with the registry. The
> general idea is that you will start Regmon and try to import the data and
> reproduce the error. After the error appears, stop the capture
> immediately. It is important to do this as quickly as possible because the
> Regmon files grow very large very quickly.
>
>       FileMon
>
> Filemon log is quite the same. Go to
> http://www.sysinternals.com/files/ntfilmon.zip to download Filemon. Start
> the Build program and start Filemon. Set the filter to include only
> XBuild.exe. Check the log file.
>
> These logs can help finding what files or registration keys are missing.

> 6. If none of these solutions work, change you Regional Settings under
