Likely a problem with your Exchange cd. Is it a copy?

I agree with _omni_

This is an Exchange Installer CD problem.

Domain prep is after forest prep.

It does seem to be a file access problem for the DLL. Try copying the I386 off the install CD to the HD. If it is a CD read problem, you'll know it right there.
Also take a look at the event viewer application log. Generally that's one of the first places to look when you have Exchange issues.
