Hello Pascal,

 

I did try Legacy but I have the same message..

I did a quick test on an old Windows XP box:
- a Wireshark development version generated with NMake runs on Windows XP (GTK UI, Qt one triggers the error as expected)

- a Wireshark development version generated with CMake does not run on Windows XP

=> CMake (used to generate the official installers) does not add the compatibility flags allowing to target those old Windows.

Windows XP is officially no more supported. We could modify the installer to also check for Windows 2003 Server.
 

Pascal.

 

Regards.

Hi André,

According to http://www.tripleboot.org/?p=423 Qt framework does not support Windows 2003 by default.
I'm not sure whether we will continue supporting it or not (Windows XP support was officially dropped with Wireshark 1.10; we will need to discuss this) but you can launch the GTK based GUI (named Wireshark Legacy): this one should hopefully still run.

Best regards,
Pascal.
