I was going through lastnight and installing XP and I got a fatal error
I made it the the text part of the installation fine, it was when the GUI part loaded up. I am trying to install it on a 25mb partition I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

The error I got was:

Error:
SXS.DLL:Syntax error in manifest on policy file "G:\I386\asms\s2\Policy\MSFT\Windows\Networking\RTCDLL\RTCDLL.MAN" on line 0.
***

Error
Installation Failed: G:\I386\asms. Error Message: Manifest parse Error: Invalid at the top level of the document

***
Fatal Error:
One of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.
Manifest Parse Error: Invalid at the top level of the document


The first time I tried installing it I did a quick NTFS format of the partition, I tried it again doing a full format and I still got the same error.

Any Ideas?
