Error :Component manifest was not found or it was invalid

Hello Admin,

 

I'm new for this SCCM and just got this job to perform installation of SCCM and we are going to upgrade SMS server to SCCM 2007 SP2/R3 servers and right now we wants side-by-side upgrade plan so that's why we can not interrupt current SMS server working and once new SCCM installed on new server and all sites, clients transfer/replicate to new SCCM we want to make sure first whether new SCCM working good.

So, I'm right now installing new copy of SCCM 2007 SP2 on one 64-bit virtual machine remotely but I have error when I'm specify the alternate path for setup to store or access updated components.

Error is: Component manifest was not found or it was invalid

Also I checked ConfigMgrSetup file but it has last lines like

<02-10-2012 14:57:30> External files directory is C:\SCCM2007R3SP2DVD\downloads

<02-10-2012 14:57:30> Extracted file C:\Users\ypatel.HAP\AppData\Local\Temp\2\ConfigMgr.Manifest.xml

So can you tell me how can I resolve this problem..!

Also, can you give me some reference links related to upgrade from SMS 2003 top SCCM 2007 SP2/R3 base on side by side upgrade plan please..!

I'm sure, I'll have some solution from you.
