I need to install windows xp SP2 from a hard drive partition. Here is how I currently have it set up. C: ->Location to install windows xpSP2(fat32) 20gb D: ->Location to install windows xpSP2 from (fat32) 20 gb I boot up using a windows 98 boot disk, change to drive D: i386 and run winnt Setup copies files to drive C: ($WIN_NT$.~BT, $WIN_NT.~LS.) I reboot and setup continues until the screen where it says: 'Setup cannot find the End-User License Agreement (EULA). Gameguard Cabal Ph. Setup will not continue' Side note: In txtsetup.sif SetupSourcePath=' ' I have read a lot about this problem and can't figure it out.

I386 Eula Txt. I386 eula.txt I386 txtsetup.sif I386 dosnet. Windows digital games Windows phone games Movies & TV Music.

Hopefully its something easy that I missed somewhere. My Xp is PRo with SP1 Thanks. I finally figured out that the EULA is a txt file. I check my c: for any EULA.txt, it turns out that every MS patch comes with a EULA.txt file. Each one has a distintive ending at the end which tells you from what patch did it come from. THe SP2 EULA.txt file is there!!!!! I used cmd and open the file and it reads just fine!!!!

No corruption at all. I am getting really crazy here There have to be a silly thing making this install so difficult! Hopefuly I will not lose all my hair by the time I am done here.

I do not know the term of what I doing but I can tell you what I am doing. THe help from MS on how to install the SP2 beta from my PC did not work. So I took the SP2 file and expanded it!!! If you see it you will understand!!!

It looks just like a regular new XP installation with a I386 folder which contains a winnt.exe and winnt32.exe!!! So I think that this patches are designed to be like a complete install with out changing your configuration or changing your registry's settings for ohter software you might have installed in your PC! Makes sence since the file is huge. I was looking around and found a file in my c drive called i38.txt which is the EULA.txt just callled that way. Dessler Gary Human Resource Management 11th Edition there. I am wondering is that is why the install is not finding the file.

Oh, because I am using it as an install instead of just clicking the executable it would not work in safe mode. The executable of SP2 what it does is expand the files intoa temp folder and then do what I am doing. The thing is that when you click the executable, the script most have a way to check if the PC already has a SP2 beta or what ever and then do not let the expansion to happen aborting the installation! I whent around that safety by just expanding the executable myself with rar. Pretty interesting! I changed the i38*.txt file into EULA.txt file so I can try that. The problem is I am been pulling away from the PC to go to work (putting it milddly) so I will try again tonite and log in here to keep you post it.

Meanwhile, please DO think about it and ask around if you can. I will check with you tonite before I try with the install again, later (I will leave my PC on).
