D7000/D5100 liveview not active (Win XP)

I installed the latest stable version (2.0.0.0) on a XP laptop. The software works fine (taking images, displaying shutter speeds etc.) but liveview is inactive (icon greyed out). As this is an issue with both a D7000 and a D5100 I guess it might be a problem with the XP os. Any information on this issue?
Thanks in advance!

I installed v2.0.49 - in this version liveview works as expected both with D7000/D5100.
Great!

Sorry, that was a wrong information: v2.0.49 works on Win7, but not on XP.
As far as I understand v2.0.49 or higher requires .Net framework > 4.5 and this in turn requires Win7 or higher. v2.0.0 obviously still works with .Net 4.5 (available on Win XP SP3), but here liveview does not work.
I tried to follow this thread
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=726&p=1831&hilit=li ... +msi#p1831
but running the regwia.bat file does not create an INF file that can be used to update the driver.
Any idea to have liveview running under v2.0.0 ?

The issue is the cameras are recognized as WIA devices not MTP device. You should install Windows Media Player (i don't know where you will get it since Windows Xp not longer supported by MS) and you should plug the camera in a another usb port

Thanks for the information,
Windows Media Player is installed and I have tried all 4 USB ports on my laptop but I still do get no liveview. Anything else I have to pay attention to?

Istvan, is there anything else that I can try to activate liveview? As I said Windows Media Player is installed and I have tested all USB ports.
You noted that the camera has to be recognized as an MTP device. I found

Is this something that could help?
Thanks in advance!
