when I try to install WindowsSearch-KB940157-XP-x86-enu it shows that setup has failed . Make sure Terminal Services are enabled befor re-running setup but i have enable terminal services by regedit In service.msc -my terminal services is not showing
 
The Windows registry editor works "live" no "save" is required. One false move and your machine is toast.

Better to right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage" and then go to services that way. Look at Terminal Service there and see if it is enabled or started.
 

This is only known to work in XP Pro.
Make a restore point !
Open Notepad.
Copy & Paste the red lettering into notepad.
Do a "Save as"
Name it whatever you like.
Select "All files" in the file-type drop-down box.
Use .reg as the file extention
Double-click the file you just saved, choose Yes to merge into your registry.
You will need to have termsrv.dll and perfts.dll in the windows\system32 folder.
If terminal service does not apear in your group policy editor after a re-start, then there will be additional steps to finalize the repair.

Hello tigsounds,


I'm glad you have posted what you have, as the above post has partially fixed my problem on XP Pro SP3(x86).

Terminal Services does not appear in my Group Policy. Could you post the additional repair options please?

After I applied your fix above, I enabled & started the Terminal Services, but came up with an error. I then tried to install Desktop Search 3.01 or 3.1(whatever it's called) because it is apparently a prerequisite to version 4. However, when executed, an error stating it could not be installed on the system, and to refer to the KB917013.log.

Would you like for me to post the log? It is 41.6 KB.

Thank you so much for the help you've provided, and any forthcoming information as well.
