Troubleshooting LiveMesh setup

Well, LiveMesh is still beta... Tried to install on three different boxes:
  • Vista Ultimate en-us SP1 - ok
  • Windows Server 2003 Std en-us SP2 - ok
  • Windows XP Pro en-us SP3 - failed... Failed with blue screen and other ugly things.
Reboot, restart Windows XP, restart Live Mesh - setup fails with error code 0x80070020.

1. Go to %temp%, delete LiveMesh folder.
2. Go to %programfiles%, delete LiveMesh folder.
3. Open regedit, delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\LiveMesh.
4. Restart OS.
5. Re-install Mesh: it worked for me.

Enjoy!
