Performance data collection and analysis will not work when ExPTA is run on Windows Server 2000 and Windows XP Sp1 machines
ExPTA must be run on Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 machines. Note ExPTA can collect and analyze data from Windows Server 2000 machines, as long as ExPTA is running on a Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 machine. However, only the first option
(to collect and analyze data) will work against a Windows Server 2000 server, and it is the only option that will appear.
The error messages that display when reading a data file or collecting data on Windows Server 2000 and Windows XP SP1 machines were misleading. An updated configuration file that contains improved error messages is available at microsoft.com (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4BDC1D6B-DE34-4F1C-AEBA-FED1256CAF9A&displaylang=en)
I apologize for the problems this has caused, and hope this information is helpful.
