MSHAT.exe error

I get a mshat. exe error when I try to open add/remove programs. I remember having this problem before or at least something like it, but it wasn't resolved here. Any ideas??.

Give this a try:

SYMPTOMS
When you start the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel on a computer running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, the following error message may be displayed:
 
Mshta.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows
RESOLUTION
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.

I did see that after I posted the question, BUT it didn't work!
 
I restored all the registry entries that were removed with System Suite 5 since I copied the drive from the other HDD, but that still diodn'yt work!
 
Now what (except for the upgrade)??
