WiseCustomCalla.dll is invalid or could not be found

[NoodleTech]

Hey guys I just finished reformatting my shuttle xpc and installed a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro SP2. So when I'm attempting to install steam, I get this error message: Error in custom action. The library C:\WINDOWS\048298C9A4D3490B9FF9AB023A9238F3.TMP\WiseCustomCalla.dll is invalid or could not be found. I click ok and the installation continues and it pops up at random times throughout the installation. So I try uninstalling it and reinstalling it. While uninstalling it I get that same error message a couple of times. Then I proceed to delete the steam folder and registry entries and try reinstalling again. Same error. Now steam and cs work fine even though this error message pops up, but I am paranoid about this error message because I just did a fresh reformat. Anybody know why I might be getting this error message?

Here are some screenshots of the message:

Try this tip ----> click me !

Have you searched your hard drive for the dll ?
If you can find it then right-click on it, select properties and look to see what the Company Name is.

I just searched my harddrive, but no wisecustomcalla.dll

Hmmm ... you could try posting on the official Steam notice boards.

Or you could delete the .tmp file from your windows folder. When running install again it puts a fresh copy of it! and it works

I found the same folder in my C:\\users(then your username) folder. So I copied the contents of that folder into the into the one in the C:\\windows and now it works fine.
