"The managability engine is used to reduce the cost of maintainance of corporate computer systems. It is part of the network hardware and allows remote maintenance activities when the OS is damaged or the system is off\sleeping.

He got what he wanted, whether it was a wise move, or not, and has thus far contributed nothing to the discussion.
For instance: did mr_smartepants hack work? Did the Vista WHQL signature validate properly in Win 7 with the manual install of the extracted files?
Help us out in return for helping you out, Deafbutt 
PS: I had searched Windows Update Catalog to no avail, & i see that same reference to 'EventLogMessageDllPath_winxpe' in 'MEI_allOS_7.1.14.1107_PV.exe'

But this one has me stumped. So, I'll try any other suggestions you may have barring a hammer and chisel.
