Hi Keith, We actually have a version that run from windows 2000 and up but we don't have older Visual studio license so we could not release it. We will work on this issue soon.

Billy, If it was built to run on XP Level API's then it should run on any version or Windows from XP up with no problem. It is even conceivable that it will run on Windows 2000 SP4 (there were very few API changes between 2000 (0x0500) through Windows 2003 (0x0502) -- for example, the 2003 API will run on XP SP2 or later just fine, even though the official api version for XP is 0x501). There is probably very little value in supporting an API version less than 0x0502 (Windows 2003).
