Windows minimum requirements

Post by lazi »

I have just tormented myself to set up a windows xp machine to run a Hollywood program using RapaGUI.
(There is an LG touchscreen monitor which has no driver above xp. What a shame.)

When starting the program it complains about rapagui.hwp, but it is there.
The RapaGUI guide says that the minimum is windows 2000. Was it a guess or should it run?

The "system" is win xp sp3 without updates after sp3.

According to wxWidgets faq it should work.

Is there anybody who would be so kind to test it on a 32bit winxp?

It should definitely run on XP. RapaGUI 1.x however requires the Visual C runtime so if it doesn't work your system is probably missing MSVCR90.dll. You can find that on the net.

For RapaGUI 2.0 I've changed this so that RapaGUI should work out of the box on XP. From the history:

Code: Select all

- Change [Windows]: RapaGUI no longer requires the Visual C++ Redistributable DLLs; it is completely
  stand-alone now! (but about 200kb bigger because it is now statically linked against MSVCRT)
