The installer could check and at least print a warning, instead of a random forum message?
I just installed it before i had a chance to read this, luckily i got sp3.
Agreed. We are hoping to have the next version of the installer check the service pack and refuse to install if you don't have SP3. We certainly would not have let this go out like this if we had been aware of this particular bug.
The game requires SP3, but it will install regardless. We did not explicitly test XP SP 2 for the toolset as it was not supported. It was only after we released it and people started installing the toolset with SP2 that we ever saw the issue.
