My copy of WindowsXP tablet edition is in English but some things are in Russian.

okay, I looked at the eye and there are disks 1 and 2 listed for tablets, they are both .iso's and once you boot to them , all should be installed, you should not have to install any thing from them.

I am downloading them now and will take a look at the files, and get back to you.

When I put in disc two it doesn’t act as a boot disk just as an usb

 

[Elizabeth23]

okay, take the folder Components and move it to the c:/windows folder,

 

[DK59]

The i386 folder

 

[Elizabeth23]

nope just to the windows folder.

EDIT: yes you are correct, the i386 folder.

 

[DK59]

Okay what’s next

 

[Elizabeth23]

you should be good to go, have you been to microsoft updates to see if you need to download any updates, does the tablet pc have service packs? you need service pack 3 and ie8 installed for microsoft updates to work.

you can get them at my onedrive:

Okay I did everything, I updated ie, sp3, Windows updater, i386, but no programs for tablet edition will not install. No inkball, Windows journal either won’t install just says it requires the tablet pc components of the windows operating system which I’m guessing is the whole i386

I found this but half no idea what half of it means https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com...mental-guide-process-in-mdt-2008-full-update/

 

[Elizabeth23]

according to what I have read so far, when you boot to the first cd and you input your product key it should trigger the request for the second cd,

otherwise you will end up with xp pro not the tablet edition.

 

[Elizabeth23]

reply 2, okay so reading further, you would have to make a single iso with the components folder NOT in the i386 folder but on the root with all the other main folders, still not sure about this as the trigger for all this is a proper tablet pc product key, there should be one on a coa sticker on your tablet.

1. look in add/remove, with the box on top checked to show updates, do you have .net framework 1.1 and the .net 1.1 service pack installed?

 

[Elizabeth23]

reply 3: go here and download the utility to install the cab file

[DK59]

Ok I did that but now it’s telling me open with but with what programs

 

[Elizabeth23]

when you extract the file (xp_install.cmd) from the .zip , move it to (inside) the components folder, and make sure the components folder is on the c: drive, then right click on the tablet .cab file and you should see "Install to ppc" select that and it should install the tablet programs.

 

[DK59]

It keeps telling me to open with what program
Also what does ppc stand for

 

[Elizabeth23]

ppc is your tablet, what happens when you right click on the tablet.cab and choose install to ppc, should be a dialog box , and the dialog box is telling you to open with what program?

 

[DK59]

ppc is your tablet, what happens when you right click on the tablet.cab and choose install to ppc, should be a dialog box , and the dialog box is telling you to open with what program?

Yes

 

[Elizabeth23]

what program options are you given, ?

 

[DK59]

what program options are you given, ?

Other programs:
Internet explorer
Firefox
Notepad
Paint
Windows media player
Windows picture and fax player
Word pad
Or browse

 

[Elizabeth23]

okay, I tried to install the cab file on my pc, to see what it needed and it said that it could not find the file Microsoft/ActiveSync/ceappmgr.exe so this is the one you want to use to open with, since it was not on the list, choose browse and search for this .exe file.
