    The installer only installs on XP SP2 or Vista, leaving XP SP3 out... Tongue Tied

    This bug is related to MultiPoint, not WWT. Thanks for the help anyway, as it fixed my problems with WWT... Wink

    I'm getting the message "Windows MultiPoint SDK only runs on Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista." when trying to install on a Windows XP Service Pack 3 computer... Tongue Tied

    Thanks,

    If you modify these two registry settings...

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\CSDVersion      from 0x00000300    to    0x00000200

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\CSDVersion       from "Service Pack 3"   to     "Service Pack 2"

     Reboot the computer----

          Install MultiPoint SDK----

                Set the two registry keys back to their original values-----

                    Reboot the computer once more----

    VOILA!!!!!!

    I have a laptop issued from my school district, running XP sp3, and I am not supposed to mess with the registry.  Is there another work-around for installing multi-point?
