Mshta.exe Error Message Appears When You Start the Add/Remove Programs Tool in Control Panel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To resolve the behavior, type the following commands in the Run dialog box:

sfc /purgecache
sfc /scannow

NOTE : Windows 2000 prompts you to insert the Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM to complete these commands.

If you run these commands and the behavior is not resolved, perform an in-place upgrade of Windows 2000 Professional.
