  Only the Desktop version will run on XP. The Server version requires a server OS:

  • Windows 2000 Server
  • Windows 2000 Advanced Server
  • Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
  • Windows NT Server version 4.0
  • Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 Terminal Server Edition, if you are using SQL Server 7.0 Service Pack 1 or later
  • Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 4 or later (Service Pack 4 included)

  The SQL 7 Desktop edition will run on WinXP - make sure you install the latest SP for the SQL server.

  The VB6 will run on WinXP - it is important to install the SP5 for the Visual Studio 6
