full text searching...

I am working on a system where we wish toc reat a full text catalog in sql server 2000. I created a test catalog and started a 'full population' but it failed. After several attempts I restarted the 'Mircosoft Search' service and it is failing with the following error:
"The Gatherer property mapping file cannot be opened. Error: 80070003. The default values are being used. You may have to copy the property mapping file from the setup CD, or reinstall the application".
I have little knowledge about MS seraching and the relationship with full text catalogs in sql server 2000. I have been able from google to find the following MS knowledge base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=827449
Is this the best solution for my problem?
The system I am working on is not a clustered database and has the sql installtion on the 'C:' drive with the log and data files fdor the database seperated oput onto to seperate physical drives
