Re: Disk Burn in WinXP SP3 - hot fix reference

[dmdorn_ctusa]

Dear Marc,

I read the technical note regarding WinXP and the need to install IMAPIv2 for burning with IIP.  I went to the MS link page and to the top of the page for the hot fix.  The hot fix for XP is labled "Windows XP English x86 sp4 Fix228329".  The reference to "sp4" threw me...is this the one I should request?  I am guessing the is the fix that will be in SP4 and is as now untested as you mentioned.

Thanks for a great program!

Further to my post:

Has anyone tried the above mentioned hot fix?  Your experience would be very helpful.

I've tried both the hotfix, for SP3, and the fix lower down on the page, for SP2. Both worked.

I think it's the case that if you are at SP3 you click on the link at the top of the page. I don't know what the sp4 stuff is all about... there is no XP SP4 as far as I know.

(This is real mess. I tried to get II to work with MAPIv1, which is buil into XP, but it's very primitive and would not be acceptable. IMAPIv2 is way better, more funtional, and more reliable. Of course with Vista being about 18 months old now, Microsoft isn't that thrilled about putting newer technologies into XP. This is all just my opinion, of course.)
