O.P. New beta question
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

Before you jump to conclusions and start insulting people, The reason I have not installed Service Pack 3 is because it hasn't been offered to me via Windows Update yet. 

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.
