Why can't Windows XP locate the file?

Question

I was trying to uninstall some of the junk that came with my Dell laptop running Windows XP Media Center Edition, basically MSN Explorer, Minesweeper, Hearts, etc. and install some of the more advanced networking stuff (Print Services for Unix)) so I went to "Add/Remove Programs", clicked on "Add/Remove Windows Components" from the icons shown on the left and selected the components I wanted to install and uninstall. When I go through with the setup, Windows Setup states that it cannot find the files inside the folder even when the file is blatantly found in the folder (C:\i386) or on the Windows disk (D:\i386). Why can't it read the file(s)?

This happens every time I tried to run the Windows Component Installer, it doesn't matter which component I try to add, it still can't find the files.

Have you tried doing one at a time?
