Yes I did. It took a bit of hacking. I can follow-up this note if necessary
with some more details but I'll have to figure it out again myself. I did
this about 6 months ago while beta testing XP. You will need a Win98 system,
preferably networked to the XP system, on which you have already installed
VC. The network part is not necessary provided you have an easy way to copy
the installed files from the Win98 system to XP.
Essentially the steps were:
1. Install the Win2k version of LegoCam/QuikCam software directly from the
VC CD. Run setup.exe directly from the appropriate sub-directory on the CD
(Don't have the CD here or I'd give you more info.) You DO NOT use the
default setup applciation here at all.
2. Attach the camera and install the drivers from the VC CD (I think this is
automatic when you plug in the camera.)
3. Install VC on Win98.
4. Copy all the installed files and sub-directories from the Win98 system
(E.g.: C:\Program Files\LEGO MINDSTORMS\Vision Command\*.* & C:\Program
Files\Common Files\LEGO MINDSTORMS if RIS2.0 is also installed).
5. You now need to create some registry entries. Essentially these are
copies of what you find on the Win98 system - fortunately, there are few.
Search for 'vision command' in the Win98 registry. You can use RegEdit to
export selected keys to a file and then import them on the XP system. This
avoids errors and allows you to edit any path changes necessary.
6. Create a shortcut to "C:\Program Files\LEGO MINDSTORMS\Vision
Command\VisionCommand.exe" and you are all set.
I hope I didn't leave any important steps out. Ask if you get into trouble.

Has anyone gotten VC to work completely on WindowsXP Pro? I would like to
know how you did it. Thanks
