Is InCD compatible with WinXP or not?!

I bought a Lite On 24x CDRW (oem), it comes bundled with Nero and InCD.. I was able to install and use both products from the bundled CD without any problems whatsoever on a WinXP Pro machine..

Recently, a friend of mine recently bought a new PC, they also got the Lite On 24x CDRW (oem) based on my suggestion, it also came bundled with Nero and InCD.. HOWEVER, they can only install Nero from =their= CD.. InCD refuses to be installed -- it gives an error message saying it's for Win95, 98, NT and 2000 only (something like that).. My friend is also running WinXP Pro, just like me..

I wrote a message to ahead (makers of Nero/InCD) and the guy responded with "InCD is NOT supported under WinXP and I'm not sure when it will be" (I forget exactly what he said, but it was something like that).. What I DON'T understand is, why was I able to install it without any warning messages and why does it work perfectly in WinXP if this guy is telling me otherwise..? Also, why does my friend have problems installing it..? Do we possibly have different versions of InCD -- one that works and one that refuses to install..?

I told the guy to "give me a better answer" as it was just a "ah heck off" type response.. Any comments..? I'd specifically like to know if you were able to install InCD in WinXP with the LiteOn bundled Nero/InCD CD.. 🙂
 
Tell your friend to first disable the IMAPI burning service, set a system restore point, then right-click the InCD installer executable, and click on Properties. Then to go to the Compatibility tab, and set it for Windows 2000 emulation. Then to run the installer. It should install without any problems. If there are any BSODs upon restarting, tell your friend to use the system restore point. This is how I got mine installed, and it's been working fine since 🙂

Sigh, this still doesn't answer my question.. I KNOW how to get around the issue, but what I want to know is how come =I= didn't have to do all that! Why did it automatically work for me without any changes of any kind..
