I had XP mode working in my machine and uninstalled it along with the virtual machine KB958559 a few months ago. I'm trying to install it again and XP mode installed OK but when I try to install KB958559 it gets to 96% then fails and reverts back. Have no idea what is wrong.
Go to:
C:\Windows\System32\config
and check the permissions of that folder. Make sure that "System" has "Full control".
I had an image that was 3 weeks old so I imaged back to it to see what would happen and it worked and installed OK. So somewhere in that time frame I must of developed a problem. So for once I got lucky. Thank you for your response and have a Great day.
That was good thinking :) I always keep an up to date image handy, it can be a lifesaver :)
