I got this error "windows could not load the installer for Battery" while I was installing WinXP Pro SP2. What is this error mean and how can i fix it? Thank you for all your help

is that the EXACT error message?

I had this problem today so I thought I might as well post the solution....

The error is due to the batt.dll file. It is missing in the windows/system32 folder...download the file from http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-.../download.html
...put it in the system32 folder .....that should take care of the problem!

Ah finally found the fix... too bad i didn't google this earlier. i'd been googling for something with windows not being able to find the battery driver and Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery - 5.1.2535.0
Battery driver

oh well works now thanks!

Here's another working solution:
The batt.dll file. It is missing in the windows/system32 folder.

download the file batt.dll from

(TECHSPOT didn't let me put here the link !!! Lousy policy !

batt.dll download search with google and the first link is the one

...put it in the windows/system32 folder than ,if it doesn't install automaticaly, browse for the battery driver to that folder windows/system32

That's all. Good luck. Petrumusic

If you made an nLite install disk (probably for an EEE 901 ;-), and you are getting the error "Windows could not load the installer for Battery" (meaning that the batt.dll file is missing), it is because of a deleted component under Hardware Support.

Specifically, the error is caused by removal of the "CMD PCI IDE Controller" entry in Components » Hardware Support. You can get more info at camrias. com
