Running TTW in Win XP 64-bit?

[SploogeMcGooch]

First of all, is this possible or has anyone done it successfully?  I'm running XP Pro 64-bit w/ SP2 and can't seem to get past the first screen of the installer.  I verify the location of all 3 files and then get an unhandles exception error saying "object reference not set to an instance of an object."  I am unable to run the installer as Admin due to a .NET Framework Initialization Error.  XP 64-bit doesn't support .NET 4.5, so am I just out of luck as far as running this mod?  Both games work fine w/ vanilla installers and I do have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 on my SSD if necessary.  The only reason I am using XP is because many of the fixes for Win7 weren't working well and both games were crashing rather consistently and just acting wonky in general but run very smoothly on XP.  Thanks for any advice and sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find a thread that pertained to my specific problem, mostly addressing XP 32-bit compatability with the mod.

Try running the installer with your Win 7 and install into a temp folder on your desktop. After the installer finishes move the files into the NV data folder like manually installing any mod. Restart in XP (I assume you have two hard drives one with XP and one with Win 7) Once the installer is finished it doesn't matter what system your running.

If you need any more help contact me in chat or via PM.

Sorry for the late response, but thanks.  Worked like a charm (kind of).  Was able to get everything installed properly though it did take 5+ hours.  Now just trying to find a good combination of mods that doesn't make the game crash on boot.

Thanks

FYI don't install mods until you're out of the Vault.

...Or if you are close to the end of Anchorage for that matter. I installed something that stopped General Chase from saying his ending speech, making Anchorage unbeatable. Good thing i had a clean save from when i was in Megaton before entering the DLC zone.

I believe that's a confirmed bug, due for fix in the next release. A hotfix was posted though, just like the cyborg fix and a couple of other small things.

Well thanks for the info, must had overlooked that fix .
