intresting Longhorn and avalon stuff

[TWiST2k]

so I remove avalon and the sidebar and i go to reinstall it and it asks for this file from the cd "avalfcs.exe" well it dosent appear to be in the windows/i386 dir or anywhere on the harddrive or the cdrom for that matter, im wondering if any1 else can find this file.

I have some intresting findings as well but I need to find this file to continu my research :(

Hope someone can find it

yea, when u uninstall stuff, windows wont be able to find the files (and i cant either :())

[TWiST2k]

well it installs (meaning when i go to add remove windows components I uncheck it and continu and then go back in and recheck it and continu) but i cant find where its getting the file its very strange, i hope someone with more talent then I, can find the file its somewhere in the longhorn install but i have no idea where. Im thinking because it uses the whole winPE thing that this information must be stored in some image, the longhorn install cd dosent even have an i386 folder. It even mentions the file in the inf file for avalon, so I know it uses it.

avalserv.dll = 1,,222222,,,,,,3,3,Avalon.Server.dll
syswin.dll = 1,,222222,,,,,,3,3,System.Windows.dll
wincorli.dll = 1,,222222,,,,,,3,3,WinCorLib.dll
