ilko_t Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Have you tried installing the program in folder without spaces in path? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoa Moc Lan Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Have you tried installing the program in folder without spaces in path?No. The name of the folder is "WinXP SP3 OneNote Slim". I'll try installing again with a renamed folder "WinXP_SP3_OneNote_Slim". I think that's the cause of the error. Thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoa Moc Lan Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 I meant WinSetupFromUSB directory.C:\WinSetupFromUSB 0.2.3 -->C:\WinSetupFromUSBThe name of my folder is C:\WinSetupFromUSB 0.2.3 . There is a space between B and 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilko_t Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well, how to say it any clearer?! Put WinSetupFromUSB program in a directory, which do NOT contain spaces in its path, as you did, in "C:\WinSetupFromUSB 0.2.3". In other words- RENAME "WinSetupFromUSB 0.2.3" to "WinSetupFromUSB", or "WinSetup", or "WS" or whatever, but WITHOUT spaces in name. Do NOT put ANY spaces or special characters in name.
