Message Box Appears

[DarkBringer]

At one point during the hotfixes installation a message box appears asking me to specify a folder to extract some files. After hitting OK (the default directory is C:\WINDOWS\system32\......I think) I get "Files Extracted" and the installation continues.

Has anyone else encountered this? (Or maybe it's attributed to one of the Windows XP Home Edition hotfixes?)

I did both the SVCPACK.INF and Windows Update methods and got the same thing.

Well it sounds like you got a command wrong. Run each command within windows xp until you get the error you're seeing. Reinstalling your hotfixes won't hurt a thing.

Found it!

Oddly enough it was the 142KB QChain.exe file I put in the SVCPACK directory.

(It asked to be extracted to C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\ and were two files: eula.txt and a 43.6KB qchain.exe)

Which begs the question:

Which QChain.exe file to put in the SVCPACK directory? The one for 142KB or 43.6KB?

Use the extracted one, 43.6 KB

Yeah. I manually extracted the 142KB QChain.exe to a temporary directory, and replaced it with the one SVCPACK.INF pointed to.

ie. Your SVCPACK.INF is correct but the QChain.exe file should be 43.6KB not 142 KB.

Acutally I did change my qchain.exe to be 43.6KB. The same problem still exists. any1 can help us out here?
