I have the same question (0)HI, you must be looking for your personal usage, AS wndows XP is not the supported plate form for dynamics ax, we can only install it on Windows server OS, Domain should be setup on it and account should be domain account.
but if you looking for test purpose, i found some details on a blog which seems to me workable. the post is for windows 7 but it definitely workable for Windows xp as well.
" Since the computer is not a domain computer so I was unable to even initiate the installer. The reason behind this blockage is that when it compares the name of computer with the local computer it found the same and installation stops.
I made following changes to the registry and then I was able to initiate Installer.
Open registry and go to the path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | System | Current control set | Computer Name | Active computer Name and change the computer name to some other name.
I modified my Active computer name to some other name and then run the installer. This time it couldn't match the computer active name. However, it gave me warning that the version you are going to use is not compatible and you should install some windows server *.I just ignored the errors. This is not enough. you may have to make some more changes and manual installation of server on your machine. Though it is a bit complicated process for windows 7. However, it is possible!!.
When I was having errors on AOS installation, I followed the guidelines as per this video, it helped me alot
Though the environment is Russian. However, demonstration is in english. It will be very helpfull for you guys to see and made the changes as described in this video
Once the installation finished undo the registry changes that you've done before.
By this way, you can install Dynamics AX 2009 on windows 7.
