Mcinwwl Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hi, As you know, I'm restoring my @2001, Athlon 4 SSE PC and I had to reinstall windows XP. And I started with updating it and succeed with EVERY update except this one, I managed to update certs and register my XP online. When I try to install, installer creates 10001 empty folders in C:\ drive - yes, exactly 10001, every time - then I receive message "Installer cannot create folder" and it terminates, clearing up every empty folder prior to shutting down process. What's worth mentioning, folders have random names, starting from 00-something-something and ending with FF-something-something. Ah, and no entry in windows log regarding this one. I tried every trick described on the forum, with extracting files from within, /wuforce and all. No reaction. also, no information on the forum that it will not install without SSE2. Same error was mentioned by two netizens in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsxp/comments/lhtoxa/guide_how_to_fully_update_windows_xp_with_windows/ Any ideas what might it be? PS I did not try installing any proxy yet, as this is always mentioned as prequisite anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NojusK Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I had this exact problem some time ago and the only solution was to extract the installer and run it directly. Worked for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You integrate it from nLite. https://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/17130-repack-onepiece-xp-post-sp3-aio-international-update-packs-final-v110/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
