Here is the error... if anyone else has had these... maybe you know how to stop them...

*****
FATAL ERROR!

SXS.DLL Syntax error in manifest or policy file "D:\I386\asms\1000\MSFT\Windows\GDIPLUS\GDIPLUS.man" on line 4.

Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms Error message Data Error (Cyclic Redundancy Check)

Weird thing is when I run my CD ISO on Microsoft Virtual PC 2004, I have no problems, no errors, nothing. But I have burned 4 CD's now that generate this error, technical termed: coasters!, and all were brand new out of wrapped package. If you need any system info... I am using a Memorex 52x24x52x CDRW, on a P4 1.5Ghz with 1024MB ram. Please help. Thank you in advance!

I was did a CD wich was working great in VirtualPC/VMWare, but when burning it it was giving me a BSOD while installing...

I don't know what it was, but it solved the problem to make a new I386 folder with fresh files.

New error, I am beginning to suspect my CD, it looks clean, I don't see any scratches but hey, I'm broke and only have 2 more CD's... I actually ran the CD in Microsoft VPC 04, here is the error, I am not sure if its the CD, or possibly Easy CD Creator "burping" when it gets to this file... only because another CD I made came up with simmilar errors, possibly in the same file. Here are the errors... (First is the error, Second is the Setup Log)

This is from your original cd?

Than your not lucky...

Thats why you need to backup your original!!!

[truerollers]

No my original is clean, I made a new SP1 cd on my HD... maybe i should do it over again, with fresh files and a new CD... so much work... LOL I am making my Unattended CD way too complicated!

[big_gie]

hehe

just copy the I386 folder (hope you didn't worked on the dx9 slipstreaming...)

And please do not write a CD-R each time!

Make an iso.

Boot it with Virtual PC or VMWare
http://www.microsoft...wsxp/virtualpc/
http://www.vmware.co...s_features.html

If it works, write a CD-RW and boot it on a real computer. CD-RW are cheap now.. you don't have any excuses

And finaly, when everything is done, write a CD-R...

[truerollers]

LOL, yeah, you are right. No, I didn't do DX9 slipstreaming, I just put it in my setup (Durring the T-13). But I will have to remake the I386 folder because I slipstreamed SP1, only takes like 1 minute so its not too bad. Well, I will try again, keep y'all posted!

I think it may have been the CD though, I doubt my burner would make the same mistake twice, though 2 cd's with errors in the same place is just as unlikely, but the ISO works under Virtual PC, so who knows, hope this works!

[big_gie]

I like virtual pc but I must admit its not as stable as vmware... Some people had problems with virtual pc, so if it works/doesnt works in virtualpc, it doesnt mean that it will on a CD-r...

And now tha micro$oft got the hand on it... not sure what it will look like...
