Searching a way to run on WinXP 32.

[Albaldure]

Hello,

It already make few month now, I'm searching a solution about something apparently simple : launch my server on Windows XP 32.

So, don't comment "Change your old OS" and stuff like that please, I just WANT TO run it under winXP for mw own reason. XP can run easily a 2.4.3 server so, again, don't argue about my OS.

I found a ".zip" file, and by the way thanks to people who make that kind of archive, with a Mangos (MangosOne_Rel20_19005_x32_November2014) with all the tools you need, but unfortunally when I launch anything inside I got that error : Not a valid Win32 application.

I downloaded that file few time, but the same error appear again and again, not a valide Win32 application. I'm coming here to ask some help, I'm searching an archive who work in Windows XP 32.

I thanks in advance everyone who can help me with that problem.

Bonjour,

Voilà quelques temps déjà que je cherche une solution à un problème : faire tourner mon serveur sous un Windows XP, et je précise, 32 bits.

Ceux qui vont me sortir l'excuse du " il faut passer sous un OS plus récent ! " je les arrête tout de suite. Je considère que XP est largement suffisant pour faire tourner un serveur 2.4.3, merci donc de ne pas en faire une polémique.

J'ai obtenu une archive, et merci à ceux qui proposent ce genre de solution, contenant un Mangos (MangosOne_Rel20_19005_x32_November2014) avec tous ses outils, malheureusement lorsque je veux lancer quoi que ce soit, je reçois le fameux message qui me tape sur les nerfs : Cette application n'est pas une application Win32 valide.

Malgré plusieurs téléchargements de cette archive, force de constater que cette archive x32 n'est pas compatible 32 bits. J'en viens donc à me tourner vers vous afin de demander de l'aide, je cherche une archive réellement compatible XP 32 bits.

Je remercie d'avance tous ceux qui me proposeront une solution allant dans ce sens.

Hello!

AFAIK the repacks are not supported by Mangos community. The best way, and the only one to guarantee the compatibility with your system, is to build the binaries on your own. More or less actual guide can be found here. The OpenSSL should be added to the dependencies.

BTW nothing special about your WinXP except that you barely find a developer using such system. I know at least a single ancient part of Mangos core kept in that (bad) state due to the XP compatibility requirement.

Hello Olion,

Thanks for the links, I'll take a look on them and ... Well i'll see if I can make something heh.

As a side note, as soon as we start using c++11 functionality, mangos will not work on older systems like xp, and possibly even Vista. So be prepared that legacy support will be phased out in the close future.
