I'm sorry that does not apply here, Peter. This isn't a hardware or device driver error, but caused by a syntax error in the Sysoc.inf file. Here is my proposed solution for this problem.
Expanding a fresh copy of sysoc.inf file from the source should help. The target directory is C:\Windows\Inf.
See:
How to expand Windows XP files from the installation disk:

Alternately, you may use the SysOCFix.exe tool (with /createnew switch) which I wrote, to recreate the Sysoc.inf file.

Windows XP SP2
Whenever I try to run XP Setup to add and remove components I get the
following error:
"Setup was unable to open information file hide-4. Contact your system
administrator. The specific error code is 0x7b at line 2088999592."
I've updated and run my anti-virus program. If I only knew what the
actual name of the information file is called I could reload it onto my
hard drive from my backup.
I would appreciate your help.
Thank you,
