XP SP3 213r4f

[INVorig]

I was very happy with your program, but as you have decided now, that like many others to force the SP3 on people, I will no longer use your program. Thank you again for many good years with the older versions.

Have you tried to unpack files from the installer using innounp and manually copy them to the program folder?

Trying equate MS with FDM is dubious at best. And some Computer/Software 101 is needed here when some tries to grab at straws to blame someone else for another software companies O/S changes.
