Have you tried installing as administrator?

It\'s a while since I used XP, does it have \'Event Viewer\' so you can have a look at the windows logs and hopefully trace the issue?

The problem is likely due to updates to the Visual Studio tools. In particular, there have been changes to the tool used to build setups over the period since 3.12.1 was produced
Windows XP is 16 years old and Microsoft ceased support of it 4 years ago.
So 3.12.1 is the last version that is supported on Windows XP

OK, thanks for the info. I suppose you should also update the information on the download page of Comfigurator...

try installing the latest version of .net, and see if that helps.
In my day job I am building applications using the latest .net toolchain (formerly Visual Studio), and these work just fine on XP SP3 as long as the correct .net has been installed too.
Since your running VMs you could always try loading a windoze7 version and see if it helps. ISOs can be downloaded from MSDN.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for the advice. I\'ll try finding the .net stuff. I can, of course, use win7 virtual host (I have it already), but I prefer win xp because it\'s much lighter and faster (as a virtual machine).
