Help! ;)

I seem to have butchered my laptop running XP SP2 trying to move from the
October CTP to the December CTP and sure would like to find a way to fix the
problem. Undoubtedly I uninstalled something I shouldn't have (my guess is
msxml3) but that seems to be water under the bridge at this point.

I have tried reinstalling MSXML3 SP2, SP4 and SP5 and even copying the SP6
"SFPCA Cache" folder from a Windows 2003 Server that is able to run the
December CTP just fine., each time backing the install out to a freash start
(uninstall everything that succeeded) but always fail. Even tried going back
to the October CTP that I had been able to use before I mucked thinsg up.
That now fails on the MSXML3 phase as well.

As I said, don't be this person....
