In the course of removing the licensing problem from eduroam CAT we
removed everything: the binary which was previously embedded and part of
our code distribution, the already generated tailored installers in the
system's cache, and also all of our code to re-generate those installers.

So... even if we were to try and help you (which we aren't allowed to
license-wise, because we would again be distributing executable code
without having the source, thus again breaking the GPL license), we
simply can't, because all data and code pertinent to these kinds of
installers has stopped to exist.

That said: I assume/hope that the number of important XP systems would
be very low? In that case, maybe a manual configuration of those systems
for eduroam is the most straightforward thing to do; the automation that
CAT provides provides most benefit when applying them to large-scale
rollouts.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
