This page tells us what this file is for (no, I realise it's not much
help) : http://www.processlist.com/info/atl70.html

There's a support document listed here which also has lots of detail
but mostly in gibberesh computergeek speak :
http://support.microsoft.com/default...d=kb;en;201191

So my suggestion is (1) Assume the file's already somewhere on your
system. (2) Assume it just doesn't know about it (3) tell the sytem to
'register' or use the ATL70.dll file. You could try this :

Go the start menu
Choose the "Run" options
In the box type in

regsvr32 atl70.dll

Press enter - you should see a popup say "register of atl70.dll
succeeded". Then try it again using

regsvr32 atl.dll


If not, I'd try the following :

Search in windows explorer for the atl70.dll file - it should be in a
backup folder somewhere on your computer. If it's not found in
C:/windows/System32 directory :

Do a Copy and Paste of the file into the C:/Windows/System32 directory
(you may have to show all files to do this as the windows files are
usually hidden).

The repeat the regsvr step above.

Finally, try out the install again and see if it works now.
