[Paraview] ParaView 3.6.1 - installation on Windows XP - error?

[Dave Partyka]

Hi Ben,
There is a Microsoft bug in the Windows Runtime manifest file that I include
in the ParaView release that makes it not work on XP SP2. I have fixed it
and am currently regenerating a binary that will work on SP2. The other
solution as mentioned by Pierre is to just upgrade to SP3.

Thanks for your patience.
