Problems with downloading IE 8

When downloading IE 8, I get a popup saying:

" Unable to find entrypoint of procedure SHRegGetValueW in DLL-file
SHLWAPI.dll."

Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it?

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista 64-bit SP2;
Win7 RC; Win7) when posting in a forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your
next reply.
