That means something is trying to call SHREGGETVALUEW method (function) from

the specified DLL (dynamic link library) but that DLL doesn't contain that

function. Now you'll have to find out just what you installed on your host

that includes that .dll file. It isn't on my Windows XP Pro hosts. You

never bothered to identify WHICH version of Windows that you use. If the

file exists on your host, right-click on it to see if some info under the

Version tab identifies what it is used for and perhaps who is its author.
 
Hi,

Are you certain that you're attempting to install the proper version of

Internet Explorer for your version of Windows?



Right-click Computer/My Computer and check Properties. What's the Windows

Edition/version (including SP level?)

Hope this helps,

Do you have Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed? This procedure entry point

doesn't exist in the named DLL in older versions prior to XP Service Pack 2.

If you have no SP installed, or only SP1, you will need either to install SP

2 or SP 3 first. If you install SP2, IE8, and then SP3 you will not be able

to uninstall IE8 without first removing SP3, so I'd suggest you install SP3

and then IE8, don't bother with SP2.



Details about system requirements for IE8 are here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/support/system-requirements.aspx



Note that it states "Windows XP 32-bit with Service Pack 2 (SP 2) or higher"



You can download the full XP SP3 installer from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&displaylang=en



Or you can go to Windows Updates and install it from there.



More details on how to install XP SP3 are here:

You actually have a file named 8HLWAPI.dll on your Windows XP host? I can't

find THAT file. I can, however, find SHLWAPI.dll. Could be the Kristie

mispelled the filename. Could be it's malware trying to disguise itself by

using a similar filename.

Don't know what 8HLWAPI.dll might be for.

I just assumed the 8 was a typo and should been S, but I see that might have

been the wrong assumption to make.

Hi VanguardLH,



Possibly installed with "IETester"?

http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage



Reference:

http://www.my-debugbar.com/forum/search.php?search_id=894260395



FILE NAME="8hlwapi.dll"

FILE_DESCRIPTION="Shell Light-weight Utility Library"

COMPANY_NAME="Microsoft Corporation"

PRODUCT_NAME="Microsoft® Windows® Operating System"

ORIGINAL_FILENAME="SHLWAPI.DLL"



If the OP has "IETester" installed, he||lshe might try uninstalling

it(DebugBar for Internet Explorer) from Add Remove Programs before trying

the IE8 install.



This is only speculation on my part, but without some feedback from the OP

who knows:o)
