What are the system requirements for this release?

Eric will answer that. I'll just say that i'm using it under Win7 SP1 x64. Also:

RomCenter.exe.config wrote: <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />

That is bad, this means Romcenter will not run on Windows XP.

Yup. I don't know if RC actually uses any feature of .NET 4.5. I guess if it doesn't, it could be turned over to .NET 4.0 so it would be compatible with XP. I don't have any high hopes though...

Eric?

It has been developed using .net 4.5 from the start. I'm quite sure it won't work with 4.0. And XP is now outdated anyway

Did you check the user statistics of your website. How many users using XP?

Windows 7 57.76%
Windows XP 14.60%
Windows 8.1 12.88%

Yes, I know a lot of persons are still using XP...
I can try to switch to .net 4.0 and see if it compiles...

I would be curious to see if it compiles, even though i don't use XP as my main OS anymore. If you haven't used any extreme .NET 4.5 - specific features, it might work...

BTW, i've read that those statistics are so high for 7 for two reasons: 1st, most people really don't like 8 and 2nd and most important, they've recently started buying 7 licenses because they're cheaper and since MS said they would offer Win10 for free for WIn7+ users...

It's almost done for .net 4.0

It still has some bugs to fix, but I think a new beta will be out by this weekend.

Wow. That's great news Eric. Nice job.

Post by **The Wizard of DATz** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 5:01 pm

I'm curious about it.

It starts, but quickly crashes. Probably some dll dependency problems...
I'm currently applying all KB patches to my xp.
