XACT on Win2000 ???

  I should have been clearer. The SDK will not work with Windows 2000. However, runtime components will work with Windows 98 and up.

  Regarding installation of the SDK, you do not necessarily need to have any service packs installed, but we always recommend installing the latest service packs, if only for security reasons.

  This is not really true. The old runtime components, D3DX and Managed DirectX, are still supported on the older operating systems, Windows 9x/ME/2K. It's just the new runtime components, XInput and XACT that require Windows XP or newer. Unfortunately, while the XInput documentation makes this limitation clear, the XACT documentation doesn't.

  Hmm... actually, that brings up another question. The XInput documentation says that it's "supported on Windows XP (Service Pack 1) and above." Does XACT require any Windows XP service packs

  Just to close the loop. I talked to the XACT team about this. The XACT runtime components will only work on Windows XP and higher. Windows 2000 and below are not supported.
