Re: X10 Home control kit and Win XP

["Dan" <dtoma@xxxxxxx>]

Thank you very much.... a very useful information.

Regards,
Dan
P.S. The correct link for the full version is:
http://www.homeseer.com/ahax/Setupax37.exe
or
http://www.homeseer.com/ahax/hsax37.zip
without runtime files.
I think is a Unix box there, so the link is case sensitive.
