Hi I get an error whenever I try to install Windows XP Plus. I download it from IRC and the file is Windows.XP.PlusPack-BHFiSO.bin/cue. Can anyone tell me whats happening ?

Thanks.

WindowsXP Plus isn't released for sale nor is it supported as yet.

You downloaded a RC or Beta of WindowsXP Plus.

WinXP Plus will only install Full
if you have a video card of min 16MB.
For better helping:
1) have you still bin/cue files?
2) have you opened with Isobuster
or Winiso for previous checking?
3) what burning soft did you use?

Ciao.

Don't have a definite answer but I do not have a 16MB video and it still installed...I used the same iso as morpheus (from irc) and it warned me but still installed fine. If you are using Isobuster and still getting this message, looks more like a windows prob. to me.

This is so far from the truth....I have installed XP Plus on 3 computer that have a intergrated video card and had [color=red:90ac5b7bdd]ALOT LESS[/color:90ac5b7bdd] than 16mb....Sorry but your source is wrong!

Thanks a lot for the response. I noticed that in the 'SERVICES' windows installer is set to manual and when i try to start it, it doesnt start. What according to you guys could be the problem. I have a feeling that my XP Plus! is not installing because of this.

You know Ive seen this other places. Im not quite sure but I think the windows installer is within the OS...DUH..I know. How to fix this Im unaware...If you dont have much on your system try another clean install....Use another disk tho, get another .iso. If your on a fast connection let me know Ill find you a good .iso

Chris,

You are one hell of a guy. I should have known it's the Windows Installer problem. Even the event viewer was shouting like crazy...but it only struck me when I read your post.

Guess what I did ? I also downloaded the Visio 2002 ISO along with this, and it has 'windows installer' installer package. With that I reinstalled windows installer and know my m/c works like a dream.

Thanks a lot guys.
