Errors Referencing the culprit, INDOWS\system32\advpack.dll (no typos).

I have three processes that keep causing errors when trying to create. They are, BWCStartMSI, UpdateBrowserForApp, and MEDefaultPCReset. The reason given is the same for all three, INDOWS\system32\advpack.dll, (no typos). This path doesn't exist. Somehow, I think it's been corrupted in an intermediate file, that all three processes use, and which would normally call WINDOWS\system32\advpack.dll. It lost a W somewhere. Can you help me find it? Could it be as simple as reinstalling the intermediate file? Would like to be able to correct this without any more fuss than necessary.

    I can't help in detail but would suggest you use procmon to analyse what is going on. you should be able to trace all the activity of the three processes to find out any common files they access.

    Thanks for the suggestion but it was a none worker. The actual file, advpack.dll, is fine. I'm still thinking that the problem is another file that is common to the three (maybe more?) files that try to call advpack.dll. There has to be an explanation why all three call the same incorrect path, that is INDOWS\system32\advpack.dll. This path, INDOWS\system32\advpack.dll, does not exist. What I need is a way to find and correct the corrupted file. I need to replace the incorrect INDOWS\system32\advpack.dll with the correct WINDOWS\system32\advpack.dll. I hope this explains my problem a bit better. Anybody that wants to tackle this is welcome to try. Thanks and gratitude in advance.
