Setup was unable to open information file netoc.inf

The empty lines do not matter.

Do this:

Insert the Windows XP CD in your CD drive.

Start, Run and type:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 c:\windows\inf\ie.inf

(in one long line. Just copy/paste the above entry)

Press ENTER


Reboot when done.

Then follow the instructions here to apply IE 6 SP1: http://www.petri.co.il/download_the_full_ie_package.htm

 

It Worked

Hope you don't mind me stepping in, but I had the same problem with not being able to access the "Add-Remove Windows Componants "

This worked for me.
1. Insert your WinXP CD
2. Go to Start > Run. Type in: Expand D:\i386\NETOC.IN_ -r C:\Windows\Inf, hit OK
