[Garux]

@TTimo i'v tried recent build @ xp box this:

Copy D:/Program Files/GtkRadiant-20180122/installs/Q3Pack/install//missionpack/textures/base_wall2/techfloor_kc_blue.tga -> N:\q2\4/missionpack/textures/base_wall2/techfloor_kc_blue.tga Writing game file: D:/Program Files/GtkRadiant-20180122/games/q3.game Scanning for game description files: D:/Program Files/GtkRadiant-20180122/games D:/Program Files/GtkRadiant-20180122/games/q3.game XML parser failed on 'D:/Program Files/GtkRadiant-20180122/games/q3.game' mGameCombo == NULL No games setup, aborting

GetLastError: ?????? ?????? ?? ????????.

An unrecoverable error has occured. Would you like to edit Preferences before exiting Radiant?

GtkRadiant-20180122\games\q3.game:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes"?>

It fails here https://github.com/TTimo/GtkRadiant/blob/master/radiant/preferences.cpp#L1244 for you but i can't reproduce it myself.

is libxml2.dll missing?

[TTimo]

It’s probably a non-xp-friendly libxml2.dll

[Garux]

There is no any libxml, plus no one is linked I wonder how it works on other systems kinda

[TTimo]

I suspect we statically link it (libxml2.lib) but it was likely compiled with a non XP friendly toolchain.

[Pan7]

Maybe the "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017" is missing? x86 https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746571 x64 https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746572

woo-hoo finally running on xp after 6 years though redist 2017 requirement is unobvious (no dlls missing even); Do newer windows prompt about that?

[ensiform]

The link is mentioned as mandatory on irc I know that, but newer versions of Windows might ship with it.

Kill XP with fire!!!
