After selecting a location to download the virtual environment (after the install was completed) an error would appear "SystemGuard download failed (erroren-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/rslaten/archive/2007/09/18/some-applications-fail-to-sequence-with-error-code-53256-unsupported-utf-format.aspx#5011518Thu, 20 Sep 2007 15:20:08 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:5011518Admin_NS<p>Hi </p> <p>Are there any chance that you could instruct in how to find the corrupted manifest and how to remove it?</p> <p>Peter</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/rslaten/archive/2007/09/18/some-applications-fail-to-sequence-with-error-code-53256-unsupported-utf-format.aspx#5012931Thu, 20 Sep 2007 17:45:49 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:5012931rslaten<p>The sft-seq-log.txt contains the location of the file with the corrupt manifest. &nbsp;To view a files manifest you must use a PE Editor (there are many available for download, just search for it). &nbsp;It depends on the editor you choose, but the jist is that you open the file, find the manifest (it's usually in the same area as the Icon information, but will be organized differently depending on the program you use), then either replace the corrupt information (non text characters) with valid xml information *or* delete the entire manifest. &nbsp;Keep in mind that blanking out the manifest itself will not work. &nbsp;You must either replace the bad data with good data or delete the *entire* manifest itself.</p>
