Thats the same as the downloaded one.

270466 2004-09-11 09:17:00 Houston, we have a possible problem. ;-)

On this page (www.windows-help.net) there is a "cmpnents" folder in their example XP-CD folder (down at the Nero Burning section) which I don't have. I have a "DOTNETFX" folder which they don't have.

Bit unsure about whether this is critical or not. Any ideas?

270467 2004-09-11 09:25:00 Gah, don't worry I'll just download the darn thing. Dont want to make a "perfect CD" only to find that Windows wont work properly. Fire-and-Ice (3910)
270468 2004-09-11 13:04:00 Ice,

I am quiet sure their/the article will work, I am sorry I do not have an amswer for you.

I did not post the article to cause you strife. It is unfortunate that it has.

I would like to hear your comment's on your final result, out of curiosity. So probably would others who will not speak!

270469 2004-09-11 22:14:00 Well whaddya know, the downloaded version gave the exact same result as the CD version. :8} :^O

Have burnt the CD, might get around to trying it out sometime this week. Got lots of backups to make first. ;-)
