the file will be on the install disc
put the install cd into your computer
then open CMD.exe and type
expand d:\i386\winhttp.dl_ c:\windows\system32

If your CD drive has a different letter to D then just change the above to have your drive letter

then you might need to register the file
regsvr32 winhttp.dll

Another possible solution or way to have that file replaced would be to run the System File Checker utility with the command:

sfc /scannow

SFC will check the signatures of all of the core Windows files for corruption, and if it should find corruption, will request the installation media so that it can restore the original copy. I would strongly suggest running SFC even if Frosty's solution works as if one core file is missing or corrupt others might be as well. You may also want to try another installation disk if you have another copy of the same edition since the original disk may have been scratched or otherwise responsible for the corruption.
