Mitchell,

Search your hard drive for these two cabs, PRECOPY1.CAB and NET3.CAB If they're present on your hard drive, you won't need the CD.

"NETTRANS.INF" is in the "PRECOPY1.CAB", and "RPCLTC5.DLL" is in the "NET3.CAB"

Some more useful info can be seen here.
(p.s. just use the folder the cabs are in, and extract them where you need them)
MSKB 129605

Good luck
S.T.A.R.
Also, would be a Very-Very good idea, to back the contents of the folder with those cabs in it up. Do it on removable media

Dear Mitchell Feinberg,

Also look in your Windows>Options>Install folder. The ME installation files will be there. Write it to a CD.

Thank you

Dear tobb3,

That is true. I dont know other Win OS keeping full installation files on system.
But ME is keeping all files in Options>Install folder.

Did you checked the folder?
I think it will be around 150-160 MB.
Write it to a CD, now you can install ME from it.
You can also check if it working. Click the Setup file in the folder, and it will begin the ME installation.

sree
