    Appwiz.cpl *is* your Add/Remove Software applet in Control Panel.

    SYMPTOMSWhen you attempt to add or remove a component in Windows 95/98, you may experience one of the following symptoms:
    The Add/Remove Programs icon is missing in Control Panel.
    The Windows Setup and Startup Disk tabs are missing in the Add/Remove Programs tool.
    CAUSEThis behavior can occur if the Appwiz.cpl or Setupx.dll file is missing or damaged.
    RESOLUTIONTo resolve this behavior, follow these steps:
    Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders.
    If the Add/Remove Programs icon is missing, type "appwiz.cpl" (without quotation marks) in the Named box, and then click Find Now.

    If the Windows Setup and Startup Disk tabs are missing, type "setupx.dll" (without quotation marks) in the Named box, and then click Find Now.
    In the list of found files, right-click the Appwiz.cpl or Setupx.dll file, click Rename, type a new name for the file (such as Appwiz.xxx or Setupx.xxx), and then press ENTER.
    Quit the Find tool.
    Extract a new copy of the Appwiz.cpl or Setupx.dll file from your original Windows 95/98 disks or CD-ROM to the <drive>:\<windows>\system folder, where <drive> is the drive on which Windows 95/98 is installed, and <windows> is the folder in which Windows 95/98 is installed.

    If you are using Windows 95, you can extract the Appwiz.cpl or Setupx.dll file from the following locations:

    Appwiz.cpl File:

    - The Win95_10.cab cabinet file on the Windows 95 CD-ROM.
    - The Win95_11.cab cabinet file on the original Windows 95 DMF disks.
    - The Win95_17.cab cabinet file on the original Windows 95 non-DMF disks.
    - The Win95_16.cab cabinet file on the Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 CD-ROM.



    Setupx.dll File:

    - The Precopy1.cab cabinet file on the Windows 95 CD-ROM.
    - The Precopy2.cab cabinet file on the original Windows 95 DMF disks.
    - The Precopy2.cab cabinet file on the original Windows 95 non-DMF disks.
    - The Precopy2.cab cabinet file on the Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 CD-ROM.

    Thanks promise. I found Appwiz (4of them). I have no setupx.dll. I'm not sure if winxp is supposed have one of them. I wish I can find a p[rogram that scans dlls and tells you what dlls are missing if any.


    Tony, I just rechecked and the remove tab was there I went ot the wrong programs I went to BAC and there was nothing there. But there was before. There is on at BA.
