xp install, please help


Recommended Posts

ive been trying to install xp for a couple days now and tried many different things but I keep getting an error. The error occurs after the files have been written to my computer and it reboots. I get the windows xp splash screen and its going to continue with the install, and thats when I get the error. The error looks like this:

Error:

SXS.DLL Syntax error in manifest or policy file "D:I386asms6000MSFTWindowscommoncontrolscontrols.man" on line 0.

Error:

Installation Failed: D:I386asms. Error Message: Manifest parse error: an invalid character was found in text content.

Fatal error:

One of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.

Manifest Parse Error: an Invalid character was found in text content.

Please help me fix this problem, any help would greatly be appriciated.
