I managed to build a working launcher for XP by setting the Platform Toolset to the Windows XP version (v120_xp).

Also RegDelTree is not supported on Windows XP. (I removed UnregisterShellMenu() as a quick/dirty fix.)

Hope this helps.

[samvasko]

Thanks! I did not really made the launcher. I think @austinwagner was the one. And I am not really familiar with C++ and Windows Api that much.
So if you could possibly do the mentioned changes without having to remove that function. You can just submit a pull and I am happy to accept it! 👍

Just ran into this issue. Trying to get one portable dev toolset to use across XP, Vista, and 7. Also PHP 5.5 needs msvcr110.dll instead of msvcr120.dll which comes with cmder. Gonna check and see if it's as simple as dropping the additional 110 versions of the dlls in there but thought I'd mention it.

Will this need to have a separate launcher for XP or are you guys working on one that will work for all? I wish I could help but I don't know much about C++ and the Win API or creating launchers either.

I've got some changes to be pushed to the xplauncher branch. In currently figuring out how to build specifically for xp .etc

[isimmons]

Nice :-) As for the PHP issue I mentioned, dropping the correct dll into my vendor/php directory does fix that problem so it's non cmder issue.

[MartiUK]

For everyone who's affected by this please try the xplauncher branch.

Hi @MartiUK, where is this branch? I couldn't find it on the main page for the repo - has it been merged into master?

[MartiUK]

@perlun it's currently in the development branch

[perlun]

OK, thanks. I guess there's no binary available for this one? It would be cool to try it out, and I'm unfortunately using an older XP machine for the time being.. 😄

I guess it's perhaps not that hard to compile from source though?

[MartiUK]

I've used Visual C++ 2013 Express to build it and it was fine.

[benavern]

the version in the developpement branch doesn't work for me, on windows xp...

Is there something special to do before executing the .exe ?

[MartiUK]

@benavern Did you compile it under DebugXP or ReleaseXP configuration?

[benavern]

no, I did nothing, just downloaded the zip file of that branch and tried to execute it.
I don't have any tool like those you mentionned. Sorry I'm just a user of cmder but not a dev... I would just like to use it at work for ruby on rails developpement. is there something else that is as pretty as that one ? :p

[MartiUK]

@benavern Right sorry, I can try and get a pre-pre-XP Release up tonight (UK time) but I would prefer to not have any more binary files in the repo. And keep them only in releases.

[benavern]

ok, it would be nice ! (UK time is the same as mine, I'm in france at the moment ;) )
Thank you very much, I look forward to see that working on this old computer at work !

[MartiUK]

@benavern Done, check the releases. Let me know how it goes.

[benavern]

OK, thanks a lot, I'll try it tomorrow morning at work ;)

[benavern]

it seems to be working well! thank you very well!

[isimmons]

Just tried it too. Working great. Thank you!

[MartiUK]

Thanks for testing it out, I will close this issue as this will be in the next release. 👍

[dbkaplun]

Hmm... still having this issue. I tried 1.1.4.1 and 1.1.3 with no success.

[vfiset]

@secrettriangle same here, did you find any workaround?

[dbkaplun]

No :/

[vfiset]

Hi @Bliker, I am experiencing the same issue with v1.1.4.1. Is there something I am missing? edit: I am on xp (unfortunately for me)

[MartiUK]

@secrettriangle @vfiset Your problems should be fixed now: 5dbb84d

[vfiset]

Thanks for caring! how can I build the dev branch? I am imcompetant when it comes to windows stuff. I don't see any hints in the doc.

[Jackbennett]

Run powershell.exe and cd into cmder/scripts and get-help .\build.ps1 -full should tell you plenty.

[Jackbennett]

or use get-help .\build.ps1 -detailed would be a more appropriate amount of output.
