I don't know what happened, but I re-downloaded it at work, put it on a 1 GB
SD card and had a friend burn it on his laptop which he brought to work and
that worked flawlessly! It was either the DVDRW drive itself, the image as
downloaded (several times?) or both. I'll never know though. But at least it
worked!

Thanks everyone!

I got the same error. I've downloaded the ISO for XP Pro and XP Pro
with SP2 and both give me the same error on a machine that previously
had XP installed. I also used Nero 7 and will try again with a
different program but I'm assuming there is a problem with the image.
I'm going to try a different source for the code.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I actually burned the image 3x with Nero 7
"burn image" and have tried downloading twice from MS Technet Plus's download
site and confirmed the checksum is fine.

What I'm concerned about, though, is that I get the SAME error when I use MS
Virtual PC 2004 and point it to the ISO I just freshly downloaded, thus
bypassing the CD creation and the software.

Any technet plus subscribers having the same problem?

This is the only program I can find associated
with SSX.DLL. Is it on all machines?

However, I see Nass has offered an interesting
possibility.

Try again.

Check you have all updates?

Found this which may give a pointer to the nature of the problem

You could try a new download.

This has nothing at all to do with messenger. This is a BRAND NEW
installation of MS Windows XP Pro from the downloaded ISO image from
MS
Technet Plus. I get this message after the initial reboot and it
picks back
up again. This happens on multiple machines. I've even tried
reburning the
image, redownloading the image, and even tried it through MS Virtual
PC 2004
with the same result.

Hi!

Brand new Technet Plus subscriber. I downloaded the XP Pro SP2
ISO,
verified
its integrity, and no matter which machine I install it on, once
it
reboots I
always get the same error message:

Fatal Error: Manifest Parse Errorr...invalid at the top level of
the
document.

The log file says:

Error:

SSX.DLL: Syntax error in manifest or policy file
"D:\I386\asms\52\POLICY\MSFT\WINDOWS\NETWORKING\RTCDLL\RTCDLLMAN"
on
line 0.

***

Error:
Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms. Error Message: Manifest Parse
Error:
Invalid at the top level of the document.

Any ideas?
