Guest Dick Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 I am trying to install the Windows Fax client. When I attempt to install it from my original XP Pro CD, I get the message, "Insert the Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 CD." I don't have the SP-2 CD, just the original XP Pro. I can see the files on the CD that are needed, but they are compressed. I can't find the Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor anywhere, or even how to install it. What's the secret? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Guest Dick Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Cabinet Self-Extractor Thanks. I figured it out. I didn't realize that the installation put all the needed files in C:\i386. I just pointed the fax install to that directory and voila! Worked like a charm. After you mentioned the slipstreaming, I also remembered that I actually did that when I did the initial install. Guess I could have used that one, but forgot I even had it. Dick On Tue, 21 Aug 2007 16:47:46 -0700, "Gary S.
