Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / October 2006Help Quick! Parallells Desktop Installation Hanging
If you consider this to be a Windows-only question, please ignore it. Flames won't be read. The installation is well along and I have a dialogue box that says "Some files on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD are needed. Insert Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD into the drive selected below, and then click OK." But there is no SP 2 CD, is there? The MS package indicates that SP 2 is built into the OS. Thanks!

Many thanks for taking time to reply. Davoud Signatureusenet *at* davidillig dawt com > <steve@stevedemena.com> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Davoud Good Luck. MSDN has the ISO image for the SP2 CD but all I could see in the general "Downloads" section was an EXE to put SP2 in a folder, and an option to "Order" the SP2 CD. You probably want to try and find "en_winxp_sp2.iso" somewhere. Steve > If you consider this to be a Windows-only question, please ignore it. > Flames won't be read.

Stick the windows CD in and in the dialogue box click OK and "browse" when you get the option and point it at the I386 folder on the CD. If that doesn't work, try slipstreaming SP2 into your windows CD if you haven't already. ric > Flames won't be read. Wouldn't you have to read them first to determine that they're flames?

The last time I did stuff with an XP installer I recall that at least one release of "XP SP 2" had 2 CDs on one DVD image. This might just because we get the MSDN version. |
