Neither version 5.5 nor 5.6 windows 64bit will install on 64bit vista

[jjdcan]

This happened with both the 5.5 and 5.6 64bit wiboes downloads within the last week Installing onto windows vista business, SP 2, 64 bit machine Either would start the installer, copy the files, create the program group and just about complete the install before giving this error

The procedure entrypoint SetThreadErrorMode could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll

I did manage to get v5.1 64bit to install and run

Thx

I assumed SetThreadErrorMode comes from the InnoSetup installer itself, but I cloned its source code and found no reference to that function call. @jjdcan can you provide more info, show the exact error, and see if you can run the RawTherapee.exe which should be located in your programs folder?

Windows Vista mainstream support ended in 2012, and extended support ended in 2017. We don't support Linux or macOS versions from 2012, so it could be time to officially retire support for Windows from 2012.

Inno Setup does use SetErrorMode in several places, but not SetThreadErrorMode. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680621(v=vs.85).aspx

RawTherapee uses SetErrorMode too, in rtgui/main.cc:434

here is a screen shot of the dialogue box that popped up

this happened during install (near the end - guessing it wanted to start the app) AND when i tried to launch the app from the start menu or directly from the .exe

both 5.5 and 5.6 windows 64 bit

i know vista is considered dead&gone, but the notebook still runs, it's travel-sized and light, and i don't think windows 7 will run on it so it's static. i am a recent convert to rawtherapee and have a full image processing machine with it on at home; i'm hoping to process vacation images while i travel with this setup. i did get 5.1 to work (minimal run time no real editing yet)

thanks for looking into this
