Since it is only 1 file, I understand you trying to fix it. Contrary to
the website name, the extract file tutorial applies to both x86 and x64.
If you give me the full directory and name of the file, I will upload
the correct copy. When you extract a file from an install DVD, it is
best to slipstream your DVD to SP2, so that you are not putting a
horrendously old dll into your SP2 Windows directory.

There is no sense in trying to repair your system if the harddrive is
defective.

Put in a new drive and perform a fresh install.

You can then at least revover your data from the old drive

The corrupted file is identified as "azroleui.dll.mui"

The following command is executed:

===============
C:\Windows>dir /s azroleui.dll.mui
Volume in drive C is OS
Volume Serial Number is 1623-2DEA

Directory of C:\Windows\System32\en-US

02 Nov 2006 14:40 57,344 azroleui.dll.mui
1 File(s) 57,344 bytes

Directory of
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-a..managerui.resources_31bf3856a
d364e35_6.0.6000.16386_en-us_42309d45183b2e5d

02 Nov 2006 14:40 57,344 azroleui.dll.mui
1 File(s) 57,344 bytes

Total Files Listed:
2 File(s) 114,688 bytes
0 Dir(s) 13,605,486,592 bytes free
==================

I am guessing all those hexadecimal numbers in the directory/folder name
in the 'winsxs' subdirectory refer to a hash code or digital signature
used to verify directory or file integrity (along with the version
number) by a program that substrings the directory name, computes the
hash code and compares it. I suppose (?) that the winsxs is a backup of
some kind, which makes it odd that if the file under System32\en-US and
...\winsxs\.. don't compare, why can't Windows determine which one is
corrupted and copy the one over the other?

Have you tried the file from your System32\en-US directory. Backup the
corrupt file and try the System32\en-US file. Then run "sfc /scannow"
again.
