XP Compatibility

Is SCM compatible to Windows XP ? I tried to run the prebuilt-release scm-1.0.4.jar on Windows XP SP3 but I can't get it work.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: 
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\scm_tuartx1\windows_1.0.4_x86.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

I added the missing MSVCR120.DLL to system32 directory but still Dependency walker shows a problem with the following 2 DLLs.

ADVAPI32.DLL  (RegGetValueW  *function is marked red)
SETUPAPI.DLL  (SetupDiGetDevicePropertyW *function is marked red)

• SCM is neither intended to support nor has been tested with windows xp.
• The SetupDiGetDevicePropertyW API is available after windows vista only https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff551963(v=vs.85).aspx

Therefore in windows XP it will not work. Why you are using windows XP.

I still use XP for some electronic projects. That means I have to stick around with the old RXTX library for a while.
