XyWin install for XP Pro?

["Prof. Peter Knupfer" knupfer@xxxxxxxx]

I take it that XyWin (4.1) is incompatible with WinXP? At least it
appears that my XW installer doesn't want to proceed -- it tells me
that incompatibilities with the system or its configuration force it to
halt. Can the files be decompressed from the disks and moved to their
proper directories by hand, or will that cause trouble with the system
registry, even if it could be done?
I figure this has come up before with this group, but the xysearch
script appears to be inaccessible.
thank you,
