Hi Martins,
Is it possible to create a single OSG application that runs on XP, Vista and Windows 7?
There is nothing in the OS itself that will prevent this, we do it all the time (we develop mainly on Vista and Win7, and our installers install and run correctly on Vista and Win7 obviously, but also on XP).
You have to be careful with some things, like manifests and runtime versions. In their great wisdom, MS sometimes only releases some security fixes for Visual Studio (which alter the runtime version) on some of the platforms, not all - a recent "ATL security fix" comes to mind. These may prevent the software from running when the target machine has an older version of the runtime installed, but generally wouldn't result in missing textures or slower performance...
Some of these things have been discussed on this list in the past, search the archives.
Until now we have only run our software on XP, but we just had a user try to run on Vista and our application ran, but without textures and a much lower framerate.
With nothing else to go on, I would suspect outdated drivers or a bad video card rather than it being Vista causing the problem. As I've said, we've used many flavors of Windows without too many problems.
