MTR2000 RSS Compatible with Windows XP?

I have MTR2000 RSS version R03.02.06
It runs fine on Windows 98, won't install on XP.
Is there a newer release of this for XP???

did it give you an error message on why it woudn't install? i'll bet it's because your xp machine is an ntfs file system and the rss needs a fat32. you can try a 98 or ME boot disk to get it into dos and just run the program from the floppy.

The MTR2000 RSS is entirely self-contained within it's own folder...no DLL or other files to worry about. What this means is you can simply take the MTR2000 folder on your Win98 computer, zip it onto a floppy disk, and copy it onto your XP computer...install completed! It should run fine, as it runs perfectly ok on Win2K, though I haven't tried it in XP as of yet.

I'm running it on XP Pro without any problems.

As it turns out, somehow, one of the files on the installation disk has become unreadable. This prevented installation. I zipped the whole MTR folder off of the Win98 pc and coppied it onto the XP machine with no difficulty....NEAT TRICK......THANK YOU wavetar!
