[PCWorks] Same constant error when installing XP Home on formatted HD, clean install: x:\i386\asms\10\MSFT\windows\GDIplus.man

I have NEVER seen this before, even after hundreds of fresh 
installs.  These are all brand new components.

HD was formatted by the XP CD using the LONG method, not 
"quick".  HD is SATA.

BOTH optical drives have been tried.  (One is SATA, the other 
is IDE).

The CD has been cleaned.  It's NOT an upgrade, not a copy, but 
the full install original hologram XP Home CD.

Yet it keeps stopping on the installation screen with these 
notes of interest on the file that pops up:

SXS.dll
syntax error in manifest or policy file
x:\i386\asms\10\MSFT\windows\GDIplus.man on line 4

I see that it's common, 
(http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/15875/ among 
many) and I'm searching for fixes now.  But I'm posting it 
hoping someone has had this with a definite fix.
Thanks,
