I am looking for help on a problem.
 
When i go to setup windows components in add or remove programs i get this:
 
Setup library wmsocm.dll could not be loaded, or fuction OcEntry could not  
be found.
Contact your system administrator. The specific error code is 0x7e.
 
 
it is the same problem in Article id 838860.  but that did not help  
 
please help
 
Thanks
Todd

Sounds like you missing one or more dependant DLL's and or registrations.  
You can use the support tool 'depends.exe' to see the dependency trail.

The file is a Windows Media Services Setup DLL for Windows Server 2003. You  
may need to install the latest version of Windows Media Player

Like I said the file is a Windows Server 2003 file. No idea, from what you  
tell us, why you have a reference to it. They may know more here.

Excellent advice.
I had the same problem after uninstalling Roxio 6 and installing Nero 7.
Roxio uninstall program erased the "Path" entry in system variables. After manualling reinstalling "Path" in system variables Add/Remove Windows Components was functional.
