When installing new Windows components (from Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components), Windows will try to locate these files from the path from where Windows was originally installed, usually the CD/DVD drive. You can modify the path in which Windows looks for these files as follows:
- Copy the I386 folder the Windows XP CD to the new location (eg. C:\)
- Open the Registry Editor (Start > Run: regedit)
- Navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
- Replace the data of the following values with the path where I386 was copied (eg. C:\):
- SourcePath
- ServicePackSourcePath
- Installation Sources
