Yes, all the programs are XP compatible.
Ive installed XP in VB and while these programs
are old(er) they are new to me.

I installed SP1,2, and 3 and that solved the msi problem.
And kinda helped with the install but it still hung repeatedly.

I installed the app on my laptop - the same install I put on
VB and it installed fine.

I think I might try a different version, a earlier version.
