A beta of WinXP server? or other released version of WinXP?

Anyway, I have found that at least in the case of W2K Advanced server you need to install the VFP7 runtimes in the client machine for the component msi file to install. It doesn't really need them for execution as you can remove them after this, but for some reason the msi won't install without them.
