Renaub, Microsoft has discontinued support of Windows XP - which is why we are unable to support it ourselves. The .Net Framework and memory management features that we use for optimization are not available in Windows XP. The ARC download page does not include Windows XP as a supported operating system.

I wish I had better news for you, but I do not. We cannot support Windows XP because it is 12 years old and discontinued. Microsoft discontinued support of Windows XP in 2009. It is now 2014, and there is no support for the operating system any longer. Which is too bad, because it was a great OS!

Thanks a lot for your answer !

I 'll try to go on ! I'm a warrior !

Thanks again for your work !

Have a nice day.

Renaud.

:) And thank you very much for understanding. I hope you are able to obtain a solution. Good luck!

Thanks !

Humzzz.....Didn't the older versions of ARC work with XP? I thought there were some folks here running older versions of ARC on Win-XP?

I'm thinking the older versions were developed with .NET framework 4.0 which was the last framework version to run on XP. @DJ do you recall the last release that was developed under 4.0 framework? I'm curious for personal reasons as I have several WinXP machines I would not mind running an older version of ARC on. (Not trying to push you guys to support it - because I sure wouldn't.)

I went back through the previous versions and it appears version 12-1-13 is the last version developed under .NET framework 4.0 and thus the last version to work with Windows XP. Because I'm a software hoarder I have nearly every version of ARC. Attached is a screen shot of it running on tiny Dell Netbook with limited system resources. I'm sure you'd be much better off running the latest and greatest version on at least a Window 7 system, but if you have 12-1-13 or older you should be OK to run it on an XP system.

If you need version 12-1-13 send me a message at [email protected]

The problem with running older versions is when you come to need help. Off the top of my head (and I am sure there are more changes than these) a lot has changed since that version; EZ-Script syntax has changed a lot A lot of EZ-Script commands have been added Multi-Servo support has been added The whole Cloud will be incompatible No custom colour tracking support

There have been 64 updates since that release which means a lot has changed. Support on an old version will be almost non existent despite our best efforts to help.
