Disk Compression Tools Check Box Missing from Windows Setup (192351)

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue (for example, if you want to reinstall disk compression tools), manually create a .inf file to restore the Disk Compression Tools check box. To do so, use the following steps:

1. Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to create a file with the following lines:
   
   

   
         [version]
         signature="$CHICAGO$"
   
         [DefaultInstall]
         AddReg=Enable.Drvspace
   
         [Enable.Drvspace]
         HKLM,%KEY_OPTIONAL%,"Dxxspace",,"dxxspace"
         HKLM,%KEY_OPTIONAL%\dxxspace,INF,,"applets1.inf"
         HKLM,%KEY_OPTIONAL%\dxxspace,Section,,"dxxspace"
         HKLM,%KEY_OPTIONAL%\dxxspace,Installed,,"0"
   
         [Strings]
         KEY_OPTIONAL   =
         "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OptionalComponents"
   						

2. Save the file, and then rename it to "dxxspace.inf" (without the quotation marks). For information about how to rename a file, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type "renaming" (without quotation marks), and then double-click the "Renaming files" topic.
3. Right-click the file, and then click Install.
4. Restart your computer.
