title: Setting IGMP Version on Windows 7
body: <p>I have a piece of software written "out there" (e.g. no source code available) that allows me to use it in multicast mode. I'm trying to use this software on a network that, for technical reasons, can only use IGMP Version 2.</p>
  
  <p>My OS is Windows 7 (64-bit, though I doubt that makes a difference). So far my searches have only given me Windows XP &amp; Windows Server solutions, all of which involve editing the registry. In addition to the usual reasons (aka "registry paranoia"), I hesitate to edit the registry in this case because this particular network is not the only one that I will be using; I have not problems at all in all the other networks I try using multicast on.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a straightforward way to force this software onto IGMP V2?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
