I've been trying to install RC1, but after the first
reboot once the "animated" install begins I receive an
error of the form
"Fatal Execption... One of the components Windows needs cannot install....
SXS install failed
E:\i386\asms
incorrect function"
 
This is not an exact quote. Has anyone seen this error?
My setup:
 
ASUS A7A266 mobo
1.2 Ghz Athlon
256 PC133 RAM
onboard c-media sound
GeForce2 GTS
NetGear FA311 NIC
HP 8200 CD-R/RW.
 
Thanks for any help!!

Yeah, I got the exact same message. Trying to install directly from Win2k gave me a similar error.

OP
Is there a resolution to this problem?
Or even a signature to what is causing it?
 
Thanks!

It's a bad cd.
 
Reburn the cd.
 
Try at a lower speed or a better brand of blank cdr's
 
I've had this happen a few times and I just reburned it.
 
Try using a different program to burn the image than the one you used.
 
If the image was on a network drive, copy it over and then burn it.
 
Doing any combination of the options above should get you a working disc.
