Windows XP Support #66

Closed Jd23r closed 11 months ago

Jd23r commented 1 year ago

There are 0 versions of this plugin that support windows XP. I think it would be great, if possible, to add support for windows XP. The issue has something to do with the older version of KERNAL32.dll that windows XP has. When trying to use any version of the plugin you get the error, "The procedure entry point InitializeCritjcalSectionEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32,dll."

I have not looked into it at all and am not sure if this function is being referenced in this plugin or in a different dll that is used. Even if it was a separate version that could not have all the features it would still be awesome to have. I appreciate the work you all put in and hope you agree its worth the effort.

Thanks!

I have difficulty supporting Windows XP.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/configuring-programs-for-windows-xp?view=msvc-170 To support Windows XP, the project needs to switch to an older platform toolset. However, much of the code modified in this project will not compile with older platform toolsets.

I'm sorry, but could you please use the official plugin?

I figured it was a far fetch to add support for windows XP.

I am using your plugin on my main machine and I like it alot, but unfortunately I have a VM that has to be windows XP. Maybe I need to make a new issue for this, but would it be possible to make the groups collapsible?
