[WriteLog] Fw: Volta Cabrillo????

After my reply to Jerry below regarding the Volta contest module I was 
checking my WL installation on an old net book computer running XP.  I have 
WL V11.11C installed and it seems to run ok, but...

I just discovered that I apparently do not have the SM6SRW third party 
modules installed on this machine.  So I downloaded the 
WLCM_SM6SRW_050110.exe file and tried to install it using the WL Legacy 
Installer Helper.  The result was an error message stating that the Legacy 
Installer Helper failed to launch.  I've also just discovered that there is 
no Program Data folder like there is on my Vista laptop.  Somehow that 
folder never got created way back when and now I cannot remember the steps 
that were needed when V10.78 came out and the data file locations were 
revised.  Anyone know what I need to do now to get the XP net book machine 
squared away and up to current status?

73,
Gary AL9A
