Hi fellow XP users,
I've a problem extracting installation files.

I would encounter an error message in various forms from the installation
program but all are related to unable to extract some files in the setup
installation program.

System: Windows XP Pro Ver 2002 with SP2.

This is a newly reinstalled windows XP, my previous installation crashed
recently.

Thanks a million!

First, you should direct this to the proper group:

windows.xp.general

Next, consider why your installation failed, the reason may be related to
this issue - check the relevant temperatures on your system, check the
flat-cables to the drive, clean the drive AND the CD.

I would put the machine on a well lit table and carefully disconnect
everything inside, memory and cards too, and then put it all back where it
was, check your fans and look for excessive build-up of dust.

If error messages pop up still, copy them verbatim and check your 'Event
Viewer', it will usually be very helpful.
