Is LabView 5.1 compatible with Windows XP?

 
Is LabView 5.1 compatible with Windows XP?
I get a popup "Severe....Wrong OS", but Labview continues to try to install even after the OK for the error.
I'm trying to install 5.1 on a new computer bought for the test set.

Although I have not tried it, there are reports that some people are using it.
 
I think the OS requirement is a minimal requirement, so it should be okay.
 
However, there are also reports of people having trouble with the installation, as discussed here
 
Apparently, if you are successful at installing it without the error message, then it is fine, otherwise, you may not be able to install it.
 
Did you complete the installation?  If so, did you reboot and start LV5.1?

Here is a quote from NI rep:
 
"Unfornutaley, we have made nothing for LabVIEW 5.1 and windows XP. You need test if during the installation do you have message with "Wrong OS", if do you haven't this message you can use it. But all computer with windows XP don't supported LabVIEW 5.1. See my link that we have customer they have try to install LabVIEW 5.1 under Windows XP."
