SYMPTOMS
During the installation of Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Event Viewer may log numerous Windows File Protection (WFP) error messages that are similar to:

The system file c:\winnt\system32\xenroll.dll could not be copied into the DLL cache. The specific error code is 0x0000000 [The operation completed successfully.] This file is necessary to maintain system stability.

-or-

The system file c:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\smtpadm.dll could not be copied into the dll cache. The specific error code is 0x00000002 [The system cannot find the file specified.] This file is necessary to maintain system stability.

-or-

The system file c:\winnt\system32\gdi32.dll could not be copied into the DLL cache. The specific error code is 0x800b0100 [No signature was present in the subject.] This file is necessary to maintain system stability.

The error messages can be ignored.



CAUSE
During SP1 installation, Event Viewer may log these types of error messages when newly installed files are added to the dynamic-link library (DLL) cache. The issue originates with the retail release of Windows 2000, but occurs when you are installing SP1. The WFP logging occurs before the completion of the SP1 installation, which contains an updated Sfc.dll (System File Checker) file to correct these error messages. This file does not take effect until you reboot the computer.
