So can you install the 2003 resource kit on XP or is it just for the Windows 2003 server operating system?

I have tried searching for the Winexit.scr file but it has not been found do I have to install the resource kit first? and can this be done on XP home or just Professional?

Thanks

you can install the resource kit on XP. not sure if it'd work on home or not. I downloaded and installed the 2003 resource kit to get the latest version of robocopy and installed it just fine on my xp pro laptop.

I've got it working on XP Home without no problems and it was a very simple process.

Thanks for the info.
