XP SP2 included with Virtual PC for Mac doesn't work!

[tobes]

Like the fool I am, I thought that the full version of Win XP SP2 included with my version of Virtual PC for Mac would be usable for this... turns out that Microsoft has embedded the key files within the Mac installer, which effectively hobbles the XP disc.

Has anyone successfully built a system based upon the XP SP2 included with Virtual PC for Mac?

Cheers

I'm just making guesses, but if you open package contents of the mac installer can you see the folders you need?

Nope, there's nothing useful in the packages. I managed to slipstream it into a recognisable CD, but it flatly refused to install.

In the meantime, I've managed to obtain more XP CDs (all legal) so I'm not going to be chasing this one - my MBP is running XP very nicely now...
