I just tried again to install beta7a emplode and the upgrade tool on Windows 2000... and it's working even with USB support

beta7a didn't have anything in it to overcome the problems with Windows 2000. I'm surprised you managed to make it work. I've tried it again here this morning and found what was causing it to fail (a very strange incompatibility with code that seems sensible and works fine on NT 4.0 and Windows 98). I've uploaded a version that should fix these problems (executable only) at http://www2.empeg.com/upgrades/test/interim/emplode-beta7a-nt5fix1.zip.

You may still need to tell Windows where the driver is. The empegcar.sys file is in windows/system32/drivers and the empegcar.inf file is in windows/inf.
