I am installing Windows XP Professional on a IBM ThinkPad
770X from a backup burned CD. The master CD is damaged
(good thing I made a copy!). I updated the BIOS to
support Windows XP. During the GUI setup stage I receive
the error "Manifest Parse Error: Invalid at top level of
document". The setup log listed the error - "SXS.DLL:
Syntax Error in D:\I386\asms\6000
\MSFT\WINDOWS\COMMON\CONTROLS\CONTROLS.MAN on line 0"
where D: is the CD drive. I found a site
(www.lecour.net/richard/archives/000050.html) that
suggested creating a new CONTROLS.MAN file that was
not "corrupted". I burned a new CD with a replacement
CONTROLS.MAN file with not luck. What do I do? Thanks!

The "Manifest Parse Error" message indicates that the installation CD you are attempting
to install Windows XP with has write errors as the result of a poor CD burn or corrupt
file image. An authentic Microsoft Windows XP CD would not produce that error message.

Use the original Windows XP installation CD with the edge-to-edge hologram image for a
successful installation.
For retail version replacements: Call (800) 426-9400
For OEM replacements, contact the OEM who sold it.

I recieved the same error message, but I am doing a clean
install (after a full format). I installed XP with the cd
I am using before, but now I get an error? There must be
another way of fixing it, because I don't want to wait all
that time for my cd to come back in the mail by sending it
out.>.

Since the original CD is damaged, you should be able to get a new CD. It
sounds as though you have an OEM, so you'd need to contact the OEM who sold
it for a replacement.

Manifest parse error is an error from a bad burn.
