I need to transfer files (still photos and videos) from any portable device that a user may connect (still camera, video camera, mobile phone, etc.) I don't need to worry about plain storage devices as these have drive letters. And I only care about existing files, I don't care about live video, preview video, taking new pictures, etc.
I originally tried WIA, which works great except it can not transfer video files.
So then I tried WPD, following along with dimeby8's tutorial:

I haven't gotten the transfer working yet (I'm converting it over to C#), but I can at least see the device and enumerate the files in Win7. In XP I get nothing. It's pointed out in this thread that WPD won't enumerate devices on XP (see Lisa O [MSFT]'s post):

So WIA is out because it won't do video.
And WPD is out because it won't do XP.
Has anyone gotten this to work? Am I missing something simple here?
Thanks.
