Default Can't install Windows XP from MSDNAA

The iso file containing Windows XP SP3 professional at MSDNAA seems to be
corrupt since there is no i386 folder and I have not recieved any repily from
the support after weeks of waiting.
I have a MSDNAA license from The Uppsala University but any request to
redownload goes nowhere.

Is there anyone who hasn't gone fishing and can tell me where I can get a
working copy?

I don't like paying $200 for something I can get for free.

Your *university* has an MSDN subscription (no "AA" edition is listed at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subs...onschart.aspx).
And your association with your university is what?

So did you login using your university's account at MSDN and then
download the file? A limited number of support incidents are included
with each MSDN subscription. Your university may have to pay for
another one to open an incident for you. So what did they say when you
wanted to open a trouble ticket with Microsoft using their subscription?

Where did you try to get the download? Was it from their download page
at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subs.../default.aspx?
Can't help you by checking their download since I don't have an
available MSDN subscription (no longer at my prior software development
employer that had all that stuff).

No one here can help you with Microsoft's downloads. We are all just
users here in a peer community called Usenet. You'll have to start
exploring what support resources are available from your university or
from Microsoft at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subs.../aa948874.aspx

Have you asked over in their MSDN newsgroups? According to Microsoft at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subs.../aa718661.aspx, they have
forums. There are some microsoft.public.msdn.* newsgroups on
non-Microsoft NNTP servers. They're probably referring to a private
groups at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subs.../aa974230.aspx.

NNTP to which you connect (to get at something like microsoft.private.*
groups) so you will need to know the login credentials to use that NNTP
server.


Since the MSDN subscriptions include the "MSDN Library" which is a
wallet containing all the CDs, why not use those?

Did you convert the iso file and then use the setup.exe to try and install ? There
is no i386 file in the download of XP SP3 from MSDN. I just went into my account and
read the latter over and over that I posted above

Assuming you mean you downloaded:

Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 (x86) - CD (English)
Includes: Professional-Retail;
File Name:
en_windows_xp_professional_with_service_pack_3_x86 _cd_x14-80428.iso
Date Posted (UTC): 5/1/2008 11:01:59 PM
File Size: 589.1MB

I just downloaded it, used it to install a VirtualBox VM with no problem.

It does have an i386 directory when mounted as an ISO image - so it will
have an i386 directory when burned to CD.

Can you not just download another copy to verify your download wasn't
corrupted? Or is it not you that has the ability to download and your
trouble is with the support at The Uppsala University?

Do you have another download than what I have referred to?

I opened the ISO using nero and automatically burned the content as usual but
the setup sais that there is some missing functions when I try to install.
