How can I get Measurement Studio out of Evaluation Mode in Windows XP

[DelphiDan]

I have a licensed Measurement Studio version 7.1.  for Visual Studio 6.   I have been using this no problem on a Windows 2000 computer.   I installed this on my WindowsXP computer and it installs all the VB libraries put not the C++ libraries.  I message pops up stating that I need Service Pack3 for WindowsXP.    First of all, I don't think service pack 3 for Windows XP exists yet.  Luckily, I have been able to still use all my DataSocket components.  I believe Datasockets are part of Measurement Stuidio.   I notice that CWgraph has evaluation mode on the graph and I get a popup message in VB6 stating I'm using Measurement Studio in evaluation mode.

Hello,

The service pack in question is not for Windows XP.  The Measurement Studio installer required the VC++ 6 service pack 3 or higher.  I know that Microsoft has a service pack 6 for Visual C++ 6, and this is what you should install to get the C++ libraries on your machine.

There is a tool on the CD that is in the ActiveXLicenseFixer folder that you can run to fix up the license.  If you have a valid license on the machine it will correct any licenseing issues.
