Hi ,
when i try to install tape redirector on xp sp3 only the management console is installed.
also on full install. is tape redirector not supported on xp?
is this a bug in the installer? is there any command line argument to select the components?

thanks

Ancient XP is supported for Management Console use only. Use more recent Windows (Vista & 8) or better stick with server rather then desktop ones.
