XP i386 install directory

Thanks to Petri.co.il

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

  1. Highlight the Setup folder.

  2. On the right pane, locate the SourcePath.

  3. Double-click the SourcePath and replace the drive letter in the box to C:\ (if you copied the files to your C:\ drive). Make sure it’s C:\ and not C:\i386.

  4. Close the registry editor.

  5. If the system ever needs files from the i386 folder, it will automatically look in the C:\i386 folder.
