Installing WWF beta 2 on 64bit Windows XP

I'm getting the following message when trying to install WWF beta 2 on 64bit Windows.

Max only runs on Windows XP Service Pack 2. You can install Service Pack 2 from Windows Update. This version of Windows includes many useful security features (besides Max compatibility).

Any ideas

Thanks,
Phillip

    Hi Phillip,

    Do you have Microsoft Max installed on your computer

    Hi Phillip,

    Can you say specifically which download of WF you used And is that the text from the error you saw verbatim including the name Max

    Regards,

    Very Interesting. I do not have Max installed but I believe I tried to install it some time ago (it doesn't run on 64bit windows). So I ended up moving the WWF Beta 2 installer to another directory on my machine and it works (by default I have everything I download go into the same directory). I guess there is some sort of naming conflict here

    BTW, same message when trying to install Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation Beta 2(EN).exe

    Hi Paul,

    The error message I posted was verbatim. I was attempting to install the file "Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation Beta 2_2(EN).exe". I recieved the dialog box with the error message after the files had unpacked.

    Thanks,
    Phillip
