Title: Older version that run on Windows XP?
Post by: kyga116 on March 30, 2025, 10:33:13 PM
This was probably asked somewhere already, but is there a repository of the old versions that would work on WinXP?

There's a link on the downloads page to "johnfindlay.plus.com" but it appears to be broken... I'm also not even sure that would have older versions.

There is 32-bit version 8.0, that might work.

It is also last version, that support CodeView debug info.

Unfortunately, the installer for v8.0 says Vista or greater is needed.

I installed v2.5 from the link, but dang is that old lol. I tried to run some GUI programs that work on my Win10 pc and they don't build. They don't use anything crazy, just a window with some buttons.

I'm still a noob when it comes to the Win32 API, but is there a way to upgrade or something? Or could it just be an issue with the PellesC version being too old?
