VSS hardware/software provider for Windows XP?

Hi All,

The VSS hardware provider API is supported only for Windows 2003 EE/DCE.
VSS software providerÙ seem to work well under any Windows 2003 version and
Vista, but fail to install in XP SP2.

MSDN says that IVSSSoftwareSnapshotProvider interface is supported under Win
XP too, but XP headers that come with VSS SDK 7.2 do not contain this
interface definition.

Does Windows XP support custom VSS software providers?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Valeriy Glushkov
