This file is found in a beta version of a hotfix to solve problems with regard to the impossibility to recognize USB devices. The hotfix includes also file Updspapi.dll (version 6.1.22.4). The hotfix file or the two individual files are not available by Microsoft and up to now I have not found them in the web.

usbman.com indicates there is a version that fixes a known problem with USB ports is XP Service Pack 2. However it apparently is not yet ready for prime time and is only available from Microsoft. The version date is 31mar2005 version 5.1.2600.2644 and is referenced in document 892050. I am still trying to wrestle it from Microsoft.

It's the system file needed to complete the windows Xp usb controller upade for drivers to be installed. If you don't have it you won't be able to continue with the driver install (according to the type mother board you are using. Some MoBo's don't require this.)
