Now, I almost wish that I hadn't found a work around...I should have run regmon, and filemon right at the point that I get the error message.  Perhaps this would have helped to further troubleshoot the problem.  Like I say, I can now reinstall on FXP 3.0 final without any problems, without using the compatibity mode.  And yes, I am using WinXP SP2 RTM Final build 2180.  It was released last friday to all the MS beta testers.
