Hi,

I am trying to install Windows XP on my custom desktop, but always got a
Fatal Error as below.
"SXS.DLL:Syntax error in manifest or policy file
"D:\I386\asms\10\msft\windows\gdiplus\gdiplus. man" on line 4.

Error:
Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms. Error Message : A Component's file does
not match the verification information presentin the component manifest.

Fatal Error:
One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup could not be
installed."

I have tried many times, and always got the same error. Anyone can help me
on it? Thanks in advance.

Try this
-Boot from CD
- F10 to cancel current upgrade
- Press Enter to setup windows
- Press F8 for license agreement
- Press R for repair
- It will say that it is already in the middle of upgrading to XP, do you want to
retry the upgrade or do a clean isntall? -
- Retry the upgrade

Well probably that file is corrupt. You can download it from here :
http://dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?gdiplus

and replace it with the one displayed in the error.

I can not replace it. Since I am installing the new version of Windows XP.
BTW, even I change another Windows XP installation CD. The same issue
occurred again.

if you can do the following bit :

1. Clean the installation disk with liquid soap and gently clean it
(i'm not sure if this will really help but there is no harm in trying
this).

2. Ensure that you dis-assemble the computer once, clean all the
components, devices properly and then try it.

3. Using any other computer - Create a copy of your original windows xp
cd and while doing it, replace the file with the one you downloaded
from the internet. (try this only if the above two fail).

Check your RAM if they are properly seated. Perhaps test them on another
computer.

Hi,

I have tried to repair it with your steps, but got different selections.
-Boot from CD
- F10 to cancel current upgrade
- Press Enter to setup windows
- Press F8 for license agreement
- Press R for repair
- Asking the administration password to log in (It was dead on it. Since I
did not even set up any passwords yet.)

Thanks

Hi,

It might be the root cause. I have bought a new memory card, but still
got the same error. Not sure that I shall replace my mother-board or not. If
I took off my Hard Disk and installed Windows XP on another desktop, will it
work when I put it back?

Hii

I would not suggest replacing the mother board right now...since the errors donot point to it..they still seem to be related to some kind of Read error..

Changing the CD-ROM seems a good option..or even what u plan seems ok..taking the HDD to a diff machine but that way we won't know the actual cause whether its the CD-ROM or MB....

Hi,

I am a new junior member.
I suggest you to check the BIOS settings related to RAM Cashe memory.

Obviously, your case is a defective memory. It may be the memory stick or the BIOS setting related to this memory stick.
Hence to ahead as I said. I hope you will succeed.
