You can't play all Vista RTM Games for Xp but only some of them (patched inkball and Hold'em). You still can play most games from Vista beta on Xp, so don't worry they look similar (or nearly similar i.e Shanghai vs Mahjong Titans).

Download this one that recompiled (fixed) by me (Vista Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, Mineweesper, Heart, Purble Place etc for Xp) : http://www.hr-host.com/wincert/Amirz/Vista...aller_(All).zip and also from my thread (Vista Inkball RTM and Texas Hold'em for Xp): http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=4069 . Anyway good luck!

New/Edit: Direct link to download all fixed Vista RTM and Beta Games on Xp (included Texas Hold'Em, Vista Inkball on Xp with Alky etc): http://www.4shared.com/dir/14281223/d52c5e...mes_For_Xp.html

(Btw i have removed ugly

First sorry for the bump, but the info i still relevant, I still have them but it's not the same as AMIRZ's file, I have fixed them myself, also I have removed the dependency to vista emulation library, packed them into single folder to save HDD space, and make a launcher for them, but I only able to upload the cards game.. 

here the links:

but the link above only contain the executable files only, here is the links for card cab:

the cabinet also have been tweaked, now it contain the big deck card and similar to vista ones... 

drop the cabinet inside CARDSGames folder.. 

 

EDIT:really sorry there was small mistake in first link... it's fixed now,,,
