Storport is not supported by XP, it requires Windows Server 2003 or
later. You might try forcing the package for 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943295 to run on XP but I doubt it will.

No.

StorPort is absent from WinXP.

Yes, since XP 64 is actually a desktop SKU of Srv 2003 x64.

6001.18002 is you need w2k support, or the most recent Win7 one if you can drop w2k.

Compile for 2003 x64, there is no build env for XP x64.
