Can somebody help? I have 4 versions of Xp on 1 CD, all slipstreamed to Sp2. On the first reboot I am asked to insert Sp2 CD. I believe I have added all the files needed to the image. Get error:SXS.DLL:syntax error in manifest or policy file"E:\xph\I386\asms\10100\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPLUS.CA_"
on line 0.
Error: Installation failed: E\xphm\I386\asms. Error message: Manifest Parse Error: Invalid at the top level of the Document.
I'm pretty new at this and am in need of a pointer or two.

Please do not check 'Joliet' option when making an ISO image, and try it out agian.

Thanx xoben. I do have that file in the root of disk1\ along with the files from each slipsteamed version.I think I've followed all the steps correctly. There are 2 xp prof versions ( oem and vol ) and 2 xp home versions (oem and vol). Do you think thhis might be the problem?
Thanx again.

What did you use for the SlipStreaming process? Third Party utilities or Command Line?Is this a typo (xph vs xphm):
E:\xph\I386\asms\10100\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPLUS.CA_
and
E\xphm\I386\asms
Also, where is this message showing? During the TextMode setup, At first Reboot (GUI), provide more informations please...

I unchecked Joliet but it didn't make any difference.I used command line to slipstream sp2. "xphm" is the folder that contains the I386 from xp home. I then used the batch file from ezboot to extract the files from I386.
I boot from the cd. Install setup files. Windows reboots and tries to continue installation(gui). Then I get the message"please insert wnixp sp2 disc". Windows is trying to access \I386. I tell it to go to \xphm\I386 and I get above error message.
The 4 versions of xp install fine as stanalone versions ( on individual discs )

I had a similar issue and I discovered that I had to change my method to obtain my BOOT folder.Take a look at this method to obtain the proper boot folder:

FOR EXAMPLE:
I did a comparison of my method and the batch file provided with EasyBoot (w2k.bat) on Windows 2000 Pro SP4 (french version).
I have theses extra files
| Code Sample |
| c_1252.nl_ c_850.nl_ kbdfr.dll (fr = french version?) vga850.fo_ |
I also have 4 empty signature files (with no extension) but I am not sure they are required.
| Code Sample |
| disk101 disk102 disk103 disk104 |
