Will ms works 4.5 work on xp machine?

[wsecker]

Hello,
Wondering if MS Works 4.5 will install and run on an XP Home machine? This Works version has some features that newer ones don't. Thanks.

According to:
http://www.trustprice.com/554582/microsoft-microsoft-works-version.html
The System Requirements to install MS Works 4.5 are:
"Operating System: Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows NT Server, Microsoft Windows NT Workstation"... Windows XP is not included, but that only means Windows XP was not around in 1995 when Works 4.5 was released... but XP is based on Windows NT so it should work after selecting the compatibility mode as instructed in the next article:
