These or your CD is corrupt. This could have occured due to bad ram, bad blocks on the harddrive or read errors on the CD-ROM. Try reformatting with the /u switch to locate bad blocks. Take out any thing you don't need right away. Just leave the CD-ROM, 1 stick of RAM, Vidcard, etc -- you get the picture, and reinstall. You can add the cards after the OS is installed. You might also want to run Memtest86 to verify your RAM. Also initially set your RAM timings to non-aggressive settings in the BIOS during the installation.

What I noticed was that the CD rom drive was doing a lot of thrashing around as it was finishing up in the "copying files" mode. After the next restart, then the fatal error with the "A component's file does not match the verification information" error. I had successfully installed another copy of XP on my computer a few months earlier, so I inserted her disc into my drive and opened the GDIPLUS.MAN file in notepad.

So...I swapped CD rom drives with her and the install then went fine from then on, with no problems, and I got it up and running. For some reason (copy protection, maybe?), some cd rom drives just can't read the CD correctly (her drive was about 2 years old, while mine is a new Sony). Probably by updating your CDrom drive, if it's a few years old, will get you around the problem also. Not sure this will help you, but it worked for me.

I was using the XP pro (SP-1) upgrade. The gdiplus.man file was corrupt. I had to use an older copy of xp pro to get the install to work. The store I got it from said that they just got the shipment in. I'm thinking that M$ has a bad batch of XP out there with a corrupt gdiplus.man file. In case anyone else runs into this problem: If like me, after windows copies the corrupt file to the hard drive (i was doing a fresh install), you are in trouble. Even armed with a fresh copy if xp pro, it will continue to read the corrupt file from the temp folder on the harddrive. I was unable to delete the folders while the drive was being used as the master drive. I had to swap the drive out and put it into a new computer and delete the folders that way. Then I put it back into the other computer and used an older version of xp pro to complete the install. Wasted my whole day on this...

I have an HP Pavillion I bought back in 1999. Since I was experiencing trouble with my Windows 98 and had a bunch of junk on the hard drive I didn't want anymore, I told the XP Home upgrade to wipe the partition and reinstall the whole OS. I got this same error several times, and -- just as Loren described -- I was hearing a lot of weird noises from my CD drive. It just wasn't copying the file correctly. Of course, my hard drive was wiped by the time the error occurred, so for a while I thought I was going to have to junk the whole system, since my factory backup disks were lost about three moves ago. (I moved a lot when I lived in Savannah, Ga.) But ... My computer also has an old DVD drive, so I tried to install the same program from the same disk using the DVD drive instead of the CD drive. I told the disk to reformat the hard drive and install Windows XP. It worked like a charm. No problems whatsoever. The new OS has even corrected the problems I was having with Win 98. So, if you're having this problem, especially with an HP, try swapping CD drives or using a DVD drive if you have one. If you don't, I'm pretty sure you can borrow a drive from another machine and then swap it back after you install. In my new XP environment, I've read information from the CD drive that was giving me problems on the install, and everything seems to work just fine. Of course, the main reason I did all this was so that my soon-to-be wife would have a semi-fast machine she could use for her med school classes. I got an Apple G4 laptop about two months ago and use that instead. It's a much superior machine with a superior operating system that doesn't have the kinds of problems Microsoft is known for. --Erik Tryggestad, Oklahoma City [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: GDIPLUS.MAN error on installation Saturday, July 26, 2003 at 11:44 am Posted by marisse (20 messages posted) a component file does not match the verification... etc. i get that too:( what should i do?

I also noticed the CD drive working hard at the end of file transfer step of installation. I assume my problem is related to the problems sited in this thread. I have an old CD drive that I replaced with a "good" Yamaha CD burner recently. Guess I can try the old drive or go looking for the gdiplus.dll file.

Most likely I burned it in Track-At-Once mode where it should have been Disc-At-Once. In any case, the file on the disc was corrupted. Moreover, the environment with which I had burned the install CD was already overwritten by XP, so I would have to install the old OS all over again, just to burn a single CD! Instead, I used a GNU/Linux LiveCD, and used it to mount the iso (which was on a different partition - always keep documents/files and programs seperate), copy the files to a temporary directory on the secondary partition, then point the installer to this directory. Doing all this would mean that I wouldn't have to burn another CD. If you know your way around with linux it's done in 10 seconds (minus copying time), and even if you don't it's just a matter of googling the relevant mount commands (e.g. "linux mount cdrom"). Rebooting into the half-finished XP install (with the broken XP disc not in the computer), I pointed the installer to the temporary directory (actually, I had to do this about 30 times - stupid installer!). Everything from there on worked as planned. Hope this helps somebody, Charl On Monday, March 25, 2002 at 7:33 pm, Elliott Brindley wrote: >When trying to install XP Pro, I get an error message saying that "A component's >file does not match the verification information present in the component manifest"....what >the heck does this mean?

The RAM I had installed was PC5300 667MHz and my FSB was set at 1066 MHZ. I changed the speed of the FSB in bios to match the speed of the RAM and Voila, worked like a charm. I have since cranked the speed of the FSB back up and it runs great.
