Can't Install Peer-to-Peer Networking Component On XP Home Edition
in [Network and Web]

From: Travis on 19 Nov 2009 07:23 I've seen the solution to this before but can't seem to track it down now. When trying to install the Peer-to-Peer component under Networking Services in Add/Remove Windows Components I get the following error message: "An error occurred which prevented the Peer-to-Peer component from being installed or removed. The error was 'An extended error has occurred'." All the other components (Internet Gateway Device Discovery, RIP Listener, Simple TCP/IP Services, etc) will install just fine, but I can't get this one (which I really need) to do so. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all the network hardware drivers, Client for Microsoft Networks, File & Printer Sharing QoS Packet Scheduler and the TCP/IP stack but to no avail. The unit is virus & spyware free and all Windows Updates have been installed and everything else seems to work just fine with the OS, just this one little glitch. I'm sure it's something minor but I just can't discover where the bug is. TIA

If you really need this, you'll probably be more likely to find information at one of the MSDN forums: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/peertopeer/threads http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/whatforum/threads -- Lem Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/40th/index.html
