This sounds like you're running the installer in XP compatibility mode - check the installer's properties (the Compatibility tab). -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

I guess it decided that this isn't an XP edition of Windows after all. -- empty_search (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

The SP3 requirement was for M$ WindowsXP Check your computer using Control Panel -> System & Security -> See the name of this computer Which should get you an information panel as the attached screenshot. My advice, Make sure you get the Gimp installation file from www.gimp.org Do not try and install using any of the Windows 'legacy' options, just run the installer, just use the default settings for locations etc. A short video on installation, uses Win10 but Win7 is exactly the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klV_1PslFG4 Of course you might have already done all that, in which case give details of your exact installation and computer. Maybe someone can help.

[Gimp-user] Cannot install program
I downloaded the latest version of GIMP on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. When I try to install it, a box pops up which says "Error - This program requires Windows Service pack 3 or later. As far as my computer is concerned, I am completely updated in terms of updates. I have also looked for a Service Pack 3 for Windows 7 and cannot find one. Hope that someone can explain what I am doing wrong. -- empty_search (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
