My recent experience with the "revised 5.07 Windows installer" is this:

1) the rtpa.dll/drivers problem is solved - hooray! and thanks Michael;
2) service pack 2 is not required (I'm running the revision on an XP laptop
that doesn't have SP2);
3) - and this is strange and requires more investigation - OSC is working
now in XP but not in WinME.

At least, these are the best conclusions I've yet come to.

Thank You Art,

For a pleb like me this kind of matter of fact observation is invaluable.

I owe you a beer or several next time your passing through!

Michael, I will bathe & anoint your feet if that is satisfactory? ; )
