Topic: Problem with testing on "Virtual PC 2007"

Hello again....
I have a prblem with "Virtual PC 2007" ...and it's that I create my own Unattended DVD and when I tried to test it on "Virtual PC 2007" I got a error so can't resume the setup ..... I got this error :
"An error has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing.
One of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.
Manifest Parse Error : An Invalid character was fount in text content.

Press OK to view setup log file."


Log file :

***


"Error :
Installation Failed : _CDROM_\SETP\XP\Professional\I386\asms. Error Message : Manifest Parse Error : An Invalid character was fount in text content.


***


Fetal Error:
One of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.




Manifest Parse Error : An Invalid character was fount in text content.

Re: Problem with testing on "Virtual PC 2007"

I had a different (but similar) problem with files from the \I386\asms\ folder.  Most of the info I found out about it was blaming corrupt files, the quality of the CD burn, or the CD drive itself.  But, ultimately, I fixed my problem by switching from Virtual PC 2007 to VMware Workstation 6.  I had errors with most of my installs with Virtual PC, but not a single problem with VMware.  I can't be sure you are having the same problem as me since many people said that they never had that problem with Virtual PC.

Re: Problem with testing on "Virtual PC 2007"

Hi
I see you posting all over the place..
I don't know if you use an ISO or run install from a burned DVD while you are testing in VPC.
You might want to first use memtest.
http://www.memtest.org/

If you run setup from a DVD, you could have a bad burn, a bad DVDwriter, or a bad reader.
(they do get bad and won't always throw an error during burn..)
BUT, you could also have some faulty RAM, and that can cause faulty reads/extracts.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.
