New beta question by YourNeibour on 09-19-2008 at 11:46 AM
I was going to install the new WLM 9 Beta that just came out...I downloaded both the full download and the web download...when i went to double click on the installer it gave me a message saying i needed either Windows Vista or Windows XP to install this. I have Windows XP Pro w/sp2 as my OS. What is going on?
regards
RE: New beta question by matty on 09-19-2008 at 01:06 PM
I think the requirements are Windows XP SP3 if I am not mistaken... I hope someone proves me wrong lol

RE: New beta question by YourNeibour on 09-20-2008 at 03:17 AM
so why would it give me that message?
RE: New beta question by ShawnZ on 09-20-2008 at 03:33 AM

RE: New beta question by TheSteve on 09-20-2008 at 04:41 AM
Win XP Pro SP2 works here.
RE: New beta question by ShawnZ on 09-20-2008 at 08:37 AM
good thing you should both install SP3

no, it's just that all these "too good for sp3" newbs are asking to fuck their computer up in one way or another.
Perhaps they have some sort of issues with some setup on my system. I don't know. It's just not been offered, so I'm not going to jump the gun.
RE: New beta question by YourNeibour on 09-22-2008 at 05:48 PM
so is there a solution or better yet a direct link to just the WLM installer?

Wave 3 Individual Intallers.
Also, make sure you have Winows Installer 3.1 installed. That's the most common problem with that error you described.
