I am trying to install XP as my second OS, but it goes through the first phase of the install with no problem, but then when it starts the second phase i get the following fatal error.


Fatal Error

An error has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing.

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

A component's file does not match the verification information present in the component manifest.


***
Error:

SXS.DLL: Syntax error in manifest or policy file "E:\I386\asms\6000\MSFT\VCRTL\VCRTL.MAN" Line 11.

Error:

Installation Failed E:\I386\asms. Error Message: A component's file does not match the verification information present in the component manifest.

Fatal Error:

What can i do about this? When i get this error XP setup restarts my computer and attempts to start setup again but it gets the same error, how do i fix this? It keeps going into an infinate loop. I have tried several times but keep getting the same error.

How do i fix this, please help me out.

Thanks to all that help.
