Can't Reinstall WinME

Comment:

I want to reinstall WinME using Windows\Options\CABS\Setup.exe, but the Setup.exe file is missing from the CABS folder. I have a second identical computer. I tried copy the file from it and paste it into the problem machine, but it would not let me do so. Any suggestions would be much appreciated Tomg

Exactly what is happening when you try to copy the file? What drive/media is the file on when you attempt the copy? Although the windows\options\cabs folder may exist it may not have all the files necessary to do the installation. Have you checked to make sure everything you need is there?
