Upgraded using disk to 1.3 now MSDE error

I used the disk to upgrade MSDE on my "server". We are a peer-to-peer running
XP Pro.

I followed the instructions in the HTML file. It said to un-install both
MSDE and MS RMS, then run the RMS 1.3 setup and it would install the new MSDE.

It did that just fine. But, when it went to start the service, I got the
message "cannot find CLUSAPI.DLL" something about re-uinstalling but after a
few seconds the service does start. I ran a "repair" and still got the error.

I can connect into my new database from other computers.

Is this a problem?

Thanks.

Mickie,

Search your machine and see if it exists in your WindowsSystem32 and
WindowsSystem32dllcache folders.

If not, a copy is in your WindowsServicepackFilesi386 folder. Copy it
into your WindowsSystem32 and WindowsSystem32dllcache folders and
restart.
