I guess Windows XP is not a problem. See some info here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Installing+DSpace
As far as the add-on concerns, I would suggest to try to re-write it for the newest version of DSpace. It may be already included in the core DSpace software as well. Have you checked it?

First of all, I'm working on Windows XP so I'm not sure whether I can actually use the latest release. Secondly, I have to test a specific add-on created in the past for this specific release (1.6.8).

Regards, Kostas -----Original Message----- From: Maria Lazaridou [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 11:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dspace-tech] Greeks not supported Hello, I have set up DSpace (1.6.8 version) running locally on my computer in order to check some issues before installation for public use. I want to use controlled vocabularies and it works fine as long as the default xml files are loaded. But if I change a subject word in srsc.xml file, for example turn it to Greek word, it seems that the file is no longer readable. I copy part of the srsc.xml text to make my self clear.. For example I change the following text : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <node id="ResearchSubjectCategories" label="Research Subject Categories"> <isComposedBy> <node id="SCB11" label="HUMANITIES and RELIGION"> <isComposedBy> <node id="SCB110" label="Religion/Theology"> <isComposedBy> With the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <node id="ResearchSubjectCategories" label="Research Subject Categories"> <isComposedBy> <node id="SCB11" label="ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΤΗΤΑ ΚΑΙ ΘΡΗΣΚΕΙΑ"> <isComposedBy> <node id="SCB110" label="θΡΗΣΚΕΙΑ"> <isComposedBy> We checked the files and they seem to support UTF-8. We would appreciate any help on this.
