Windows XP RC1 + Metastock installation workaround

I have figured out a way to get around my previous installation issue.

Required:  
Second PC running Win95/98/ME/2000, with Metastock installed

Environment:  Metastock 7.2 EOD

1.	Copy the entire program files\equis directory across from the
installed PC to the Windows XP PC's program files directory
2.	Copy the following DLLs from the other computer's windows\system
(or windows\system32 if it's win2k):
msfl72.dll
olvi72.dll
ltkrn61n.dll
ltfil61n.dll
lfcmp61n.dll
lfpng61n.dll
eqnotify.dll
implode.dll
dbcapi.dll
patchw32.dll
ss32d25.dll
MetaStockShellExtension.dll

to the WinXP's c:\windows\system32 directory
3.	Create a shortcut to the mswin.exe wherever you want it (perhaps
downloader too if you use it).
4.	Right click on the shortcut properties, click on Compatibility,
then click Disable Visual Themes (this is done to correct a problem with
the minimise/maximise window buttons).

Start up MS win, let it verify your CD and you're now running Metastock
v7.2 under Windows XP!
