If you are running WinXP SP2 and the i386 folder and has not been slip-streamed to to SP2
level then this can be problematic as you can end up replacing newer files with older
versions.

The location of the registry key in question is under...

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

The key is; 'SourcePath'

and if the folder is c:\i386 then 'SourcePath' should be set to; C:\
