By apple_eggby · 9 years ago My father wanted to move from 2000 to XP, but insisted on using an upgrade instead of a clean install. Apparently, during setup he received the following msg: SXS.DLL: syntax error in manifest or policy file "c:\I386\asms\1000\msft\windows\gdiplus\gdiplus.man" on line 4Then "Installation Failed d:\i386asms Cannot Find File Specified"He tried again, after moving disk to another optical drive & did not receive errors, but installation just hangs. He's rebooted numerous times & installation attempts to complete, but it hangs every time & does not display an estimated time to complete.Booting from cd, and trying to upgrade rather than do a new installation, he's told that the installation he wishes to upgrade can't be found. Rebooting brings it back into setup, where it hangs. He's in another state, so I can't physically help him & he desperately doesn't want to have to reinstall apps, etc. (Plus, I don't think he has very good data back-ups.) Is there anyway to save this upgrade installation?If not, and he's forced to do a clean install, is he just going to have this same error? Has anyone found a fix for this?

Sxs.dll is a type of DLL file associated with Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 developed by Microsoft for the error installing Windows Operating System. The latest known version of Sxs.dll is 1.0.0.0, which was produced for Windows. This DLL file carries a popularity rating of 1 stars and a security rating of "UNKNOWN". What Are DLL Files? DLL ("dynamic link library") files such as sxs.dll are small programs, similar to EXE ("executable") files, which allow multiple software error installing xp programs to share the same functionality (eg. printing).For example, let's say you are running Windows and editing a document in Microsoft Word.
