kernel32.dll problem
« on: August 05, 2014, 10:10:50 pm »
Hi!

Today I downloaded OpenXcom and installed it. But whenever I want to start it it says can't reach (GetLogicalProcessonInfromation) in kernell32.dll!

What can I do? I have WinXP home with SP2 and installed the latest OpenXcom.
Any idea?

Hi,

No pb playing OpenXCom nightly build  on XP...

But ...XP with SP3

Why haven't you installed the SP3 ?

I have not installed SP3 because some parts of my laptop is old and do incompatible with SP3. I tried it once and the result was a full OS crash\OS reinstall procedure.

So, there is no hope to play it with SP2 at all? Bad news...

I don't have anything substantial to say, but I highly doubt Openxcom won't work on XP SP2. It works on everything. :)

The function GetLogicalProcessonInfromation introduced in WinXP SP3 and Win2003:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/en-EN/library/windows/desktop/ms683194(v=vs.85).aspx

Therefore you cannot run official Openxcom on WinXP SP2.

Upd: attached latest nightly, but built with 7.1 SDK. May be can work on XP SP2. I don't know.
