Failed to load automation partition on XP machine

    Hello,

    I know that during the beta phase of GSS 3.0, that there was/is a known issue where on an XP PC that the automation partion installer would fail with the following error: "not a valid win 32 application" and it would fail at that point. I have tried all known ways of creating the automation partition to load on an XP PC, and it will only keep failing with the above error. This does not happen on Win 7, and the partition loads fine, saving the current OS, but creating the automation partition as well. I need this to work (as I'm sure others do as well), since I have many XP machines, and it would be desireable to load the automation partition using XP as the OS to install under. We could then load the management agent on the PC as well, and then have much less overall work to do, than to blow away all data and manually load a partition.

    Please tell me you have worked this out, or that it is being worked on. It is a huge issue for us, and without being able to do the above, it limits Ghost's functionality.
