IPV6 statistics on XP SP2

I have been looking around inside the system.net.networkinformation
classes today and am having problems getting IPv6 information.

Here is one such example:

PSH [D:\foo]: $properties =
[system.net.networkinformation.IPGlobalProperties]::GetIPGlobalProperties
();
PSH [D:\foo]: $stat = $properties.GetIcmpV4Statistics();
PSH [D:\foo]: $stat = $properties.GetIcmpV6Statistics();
Exception calling "GetIcmpV6Statistics" with "0" argument(s): "The
request is not supported"
At line:1 char:40
+ $stat = $properties.GetIcmpV6Statistics( <<<< );
PSH [D:\foo]:

I can get the V4 stats fine, but not v6?

Is IPv6 supported in the standard XPSP2 IP stack?

I thought it was, but .NET says not.

Q. How do I install the IPv6 protocol for Windows XP?

A. To install the IPv6 protocol for Windows XP with SP2, do the
following:

Log on to the computer with a user account that has privileges to
change network configuration.

2.
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network
Connections.

3.
Right-click any local area connection, and then click Properties.

4.
Click Install.

5.
In the Select Network Component Type, dialog box, click Protocol,
and then click Add.

6.
In the Select Network Protocol dialog box, click Microsoft TCP/IP
version 6, and then click OK.

7.
Click Close to save changes to your network connection.

It helped to install IPv6 before trying this:

PSH [D:\foo]: $properties =
[system.net.networkinformation.IPGlobalProperties]::getipglobalproperties
()
PSH [D:\foo]: $stat = $properties.GetIcmpV6Statistics();
PSH [D:\foo]: $stat
