Ensure that the Windows SYSTEM32 directory is in the PATH.
Note also that Windows XP is not a supported operating system, in particular that in will not install at all on Windows XP Home.

XP is not supported for the Server, period. And as noted, neither it nor the client will even attempt to install on XP Home. You should, however, be able to install the client on XP Pro without issue.
Not sure what's going on with your issue, do you have admin rights on the machine?

Right, from Ray's reply I assumed we were talking installing the Server, not the Client and so updated my post before I saw your reply.

What we are actually asking is for the value of your PATH environment variable, not whether C:\Windows\System32 exists. In a CMD shell execute the command

Ah... [facepalm] I was wondering why you felt the need to post the image. Nice catch, Mr Ray.
