Extracting file failed.
It is most likely caused by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet file.

This happens on certain EXEs, Net Framework 1.1, XP SP2, DX9.0C .. basically most of them. The EXEs all work fine on my main pc (the same exe) and I dont know whats going on.

Got this on a fresh install of : MCE05, my slipstreamed XP SP2 (which is fine on my main pc btw) and I've just tried XP SP1 (original non tampered factory CD) and it still does it... so Im certain its not my windows install... we're talking fresh install, no drivers or anything (same result if i install all the drivers), and i get this error if i try to install something.

I have however changed my motherboard to a MSI K9AGM2 (so i formatted, and thus i got this error).

ATi 690G chipset, realtek onboard lan and sound.

Anyone ANY ideas?

Closest I've gotten is when a forum search yielded 1 result, of which it was mentioned it might be the motherboard's firewall, however I cannot find anything in the bios relating to a firewall :(

ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE TRIED :(
 
Files are fine, came from MS.com :p AND i've had them for ages, used them on various installs, and they were fine.

RAM is however new, 1gb stick (value stuff too - eek), I'll put a stick of my g.skill (known working) from my main rig.

Still not much food for thought bar the RAM though... i'll update in due course, later this evening.
