That's rather odd. To be of any help, though, it'd be necessary to know
more than "has errors in it".

Can you be specific about what is wrong? Please provide installer logs,
the exact text of any error message(s), etc. It would also help to know
what language your version of Windows XP is in and what (if any) virus
scanner is present.
