The forthcoming RDP 6.0 component for XPe runtimes will only support systems based on Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 2 Feature Preview 2008, however, according to a post on the Windows XPe team blog. "It does not address the need of customers who are still using Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 2 (or XPe SP2)," the post notes.

In order to support developers working with XPe SP2, the blog post provides "some guidance to customers [regarding] how they may install RDP 6.0 on their XPe SP2 runtime images using the RDP 6.0 desktop distribution package for XP Pro."
