Windows XP #29

Closed bp74 closed 12 years ago

bp74 commented 12 years ago

Hi,

The title says pretty much everything - i need to support Windows XP for my application :(

Everything runs fine with Windows 7 (and i expect Vista too) but in Windows XP the app crashes right at the start. So my question is: Is there any way to compile CefSharp to run with Windows XP? Or am i doing something very stupid?

Thanks for your help, and thumbs up for your great work with CefSharp!

CefSharp should work on XP, Vista, 7, and 8. please make sure that you have all of the necessary DLLs in place

bp74 commented 12 years ago

I allready checked all DLLs but couldn't find the missing one - any hint would be helpful. When you look at the preprocessor compiler settings for CefSharp you see "WINVER=0x0600" which is Vista. I changed it to WindowsXP but still no luck. So my first thought was: "well ,maybe CEF itself is compiled for Vista only". I will investigate ...

not sure where that WINVER comes from. i can assure you that i'm shipping a product that bundles CefSharp and works on XP.

Thanks for your answer. I already managed to make it work :) The only thing i have changed is the build from "Debug" to "Release". The Debug version crashes on Windows XP, the Release version runs perfectly. I don't really care why this is the case, as long as it works i'm okay with it. CefSharp is really great, and thanks for your fork - it seems to progresses faster than the code from chillitom. So i will follow your fork.

Oh, thanks for letting me know. The Debug builds seem to break often depending on the CEF version, i wouldn't consider them well supported. Glad to hear release works.

chillitom started the project but isn't actively maintaining or working on CefSharp these days. I have been pushing changes to his fork only at each binary release point.
