That seems to have been the case. I installed driverpacks base on another computer and everything worked fine from there. Thank you for the help.

you might be having issues with either windos file protection or with a bad download of driverpacks base

I deleted the whole folder, recopied the source disc, and still get the same error. I tested with winzip and I can still open the setup.ex_ file no problem.

did you use a clean folder - make sure setup.exe does not exist. only setup.ex_

I tried to open using winzip and it said it couldn't. So I used xcopy to recopy the source disc. After that, I can open the file using winzip. However, I receive the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

try this: use your favorite compression tool and see if you can extract it manually from C:\xpSource\i386\setup.ex_

The disc works fine for a general install. Not sure why it would come across as corrupted. It is a volume license version.

the error indicates that your source files are corrupted. specificlly setup.ex_

that is why i asked you to create a fresh copy of your XP installation disk on your HDD

I tried enabling QSC and making a new copy of the XP installation as a source and I get the same error.

I didn't make any changes other than add driverpacks. I will try your suggestion and report back. Thank you.

Welcome to driverpacks pj

enable QSC. in base

make a new copy of your OEM XP installation disk as a source and try again.

did you make any changes to the source other than DriverPacks?
