    Hi,

    When adding Windows XP components in a Virtual XP instance I'm prompted for the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 CD", defaulting to D:\i386.  Do I need a WinXP CD, or are the required files already available somewhere?

    Thanks, I was trying to know the tools that you wanted to use and for which application.

    That's a great feedback. In most cases older virtual Windows images (trials, IE comp images, etc.) contain a folder with i386, however in this case I can't find it also.

    You would need the WinXP CD to install the components. Can you please let us know the components you wanted to use in XP ?

    Thanks

    The IIS Snap-In required by the Exchange 2003 management tools.
