Installing WebI 6.1.b on Windows XP

Hey Everyone,

I remember to see a post in the forum which talks about a setup option that ignores the platform detection option so that WebI 6 can be installed on Windows XP or any other platform which is not “Officially” supported.

If any one knows about this post can you please redirect me to the same. or if you know that setup parameter please let me know.

But don’t be surprised at all if it doesn’t work. It will work on Windows 2K Professional. But XP is a different animal.

So, did you ever get this to work?


Steve Krandel :us: (BOB member since 2002-06-25)

Yes it does work but “occasionally” only.

Needs few restart to work and just one restart to go down again.

Anyway it was just for experiment sack, so doesn’t bother much.
