Could someone provide advice with the following problem?
I've created what I believe to be a working slipstreamed XP SP2 install CD
using my original SP1 install disk and SP2.
I've followed the easily available instructions for carrying out a repair
install: booting the CD, *not* selecting recovery console but selecting a
repair install over the existing installation.
The process starts okay but when the install files are being copied from CD
I get an error message saying something like:
"the application or DLL c\windows\blue_ss.dll is not a valid windows image".
The error appears in relation to several other dll files before the install
crashes.
I am then forced to restore to an earlier restore point (which doesn't fix
the system problems that prompted the need for a repair install in the first
place).
Would a full reinstall using the slipstreamed CD be the only solution?
