0.8.22 fails to install in XP


Big problem. Tried to install on XP machine but get the message "Deimos only supports XP / Server2003 or Higher".

EDIT, Installed O.K on my 2 Vista Laptops.

Errhm, it gave that error-message when you tried it to install it at your Windows XP computer? Do you have compatibility mode on?

I have not changed anything in the installer, that has been the same since 0.8.10. Also I am sure it installs in Windows XP SP2 and SP3

Strange, it installed fine in the 8 other XP machines I have running. The only difference is that this version of XP is different to the others, its Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2.

EDIT....Indeed I did have compatibility mode switched on. I'm installing through Norton File Manager for Windows 95 and I needed toturn on compatibility mode yesterday and forgot to switch it back....all is fine now, well spotted :)

I am using NSIS for the installer and it doesn't seem handle Media Center that good ;)

I tweaked the installer, please try again :)

seems NSIS got Problems on ReactOS ... 0.8.26 installs fine, but crashes like on win2000 (are there any packages without install? e.g. zip files?)

ReactOs? I don't remember that being on the supported list... :p

But I will put a zip-version online tomorrow.

Hi,

When will be tomorrow? Will try it in reactos... or did u do it?

THX
