It turns out that: 1. tdm_update projects use v120_xp toolset only in release mode, debug mode uses v120 toolset which cannot run on Windows XP. 2. We distribute debug build of tdm_update.exe. I fixed all project files, so that v120_xp PlatformToolset is used in all configurations. Now tdm_update should work even in debug build. Committed in svn rev 7421. |

Premier said the test executable did not run with error message (approximate): "Process entry point (RegGetValueA) cannot be found in DLL (ADVAPI32.dll)" |

Reimplemented registry quering using older functions RegOpenKeyEx and RegQueryValueEx. They are more cumbersome indeed =( The fix committed in svn rev 7425. Note that both commits are necessary to solve the problem. |

For future adventurers: The TDM 2.06 updater known to work properly on Windows XP can be downloaded here: https://thedarkmod.blob.core.windows.net/various/release206_winxp/tdm_update.exe Note however: from now on it will download the newest TDM 2.07 version, which is NOT yet known to be compatible with Windows XP. It should be, but no certainty. You can download TDM 2.06 using unofficial tdmsync prototype described here: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/19789-prototype-of-time-travelling-tdmupdate/ The 2.06 updater referenced above will also do, but make sure to configure tdm_mirrors.txt properly, and don't forget to check "don't update mirrors" and "don't self-update". |
