I have read carefully numerous previous posts on similar errors. So far I’ve ruled out:
1. I have an Athlon processor with cache prefetching XP 1700+
2. I have tried installing with advanced options and selecting local sytem and local service.
None of these solutions solved my problem. I still get the same install error and it’s quite maddening, since the install program verifies that all of my hardware and software meet the install conditions. I am running XP home, so I’m in a workgroup, not a domain.. I attach the log for the install below.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks,
gtc.
