It seems to me, a client library located in c:\windows\system32
gives the
error.
It seems try to locate file and after it fails it try to locate in
its
current path system32.
* It may try to locate file / connect server without full path (yes
I know
you write full path).
* You unzipped file with your xp login account and now file owner is
your xp
login account. But the account which server use may have not right
to access
a file owned by your login account.

If you use different account rather than local sytem account with fb
server,
you can login xp with that account and try to open db file in some
editor
(read access check).

If you use local system account with fb server, then you can check
any
restriction in db file for accounts everyone, system or network.
