Installing windows xp

[cachieh]

I have been trying to install windows xp on my laptop. I went thru the
process and then came to setup. An error message appeared: AN ERROR HAS
BEEN ENCOUNTERED THAT PREVENTS SETUP FROM CONTINUING. ONE OF THE
COMPONETS THAT WINDOWS NEEDS TO CONTINUE SETUP COULD NOT BE INSTALLED.
INCORRECT FUNCTION.

ERROR: SXS: DLL syntax error in manifest or policy file.
"D:/1386/asms/6000/MSFT/WINDOWS/CONTROLS/.MAN" on line 4

error:
Installation Failed
D:/1386/asma: Incorrect function.

I am confused and do not know what to do. I want to unistall windows
xp ? what should I do?

Hi (e-mail address removed),

Oftentimes this error is due to a bad install CD. Ensure that the install CD
is not dirty or noticeably scratched/damaged.
If the install CD is one that you (or someone else) burned, perhaps to make
a slipstreamed with SP2 CD, then some files/folders may have been corrupted
during the copying process.
