I tried to add a new windows component - UPNPgui.

The system asked me to insert my windows CD. Halfway through the
installation, a window pops up and said that 'unable to copy files'

ANy reason for that problem?

Thank you in advance.
 
Try cleaning the CD with soap and water. Don't rub in circular motion.
Clean from the center outward. If you have more
than one cdrom device try a different one.
 
I had the similar problem when I attempted to install IIS. This resolved my
problem, I don't know if it will help you, but here is the solution I found:

Go to Start-->Run and type the following:

esentutl /g Drive:\WinDir\security\database\secedit.sdb

where drive is the drive letter where XP is installed and WinDir is the root
system folder, usually windows.
