From: dualchannel at centrum dot cz Operating system: Windows XP ready-built packages PHP version: 5.5.1 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:v5.5 packages (compiled by VS 2012) do not run on Windows XP.
Description: ------------ v5.5 executables does not run on Windows XP, specifically, I have tried on XP SP3 x86, with all the latest patches applied and VC11 redistributables installed. I just downloaded the precompiled binaries 'php-5.5.1-Win32-VC11-x86.zip', unpacked the zip-file and tried 'php -h' in a terminal. It shows an error pop-up: "php.exe is not a valid Win32 application." and a message "Access denied." in the terminal. No web server nor a database engine of any kind is running on the machine, just running the precompiled executable with '-h' parameter leads to the described result. Precompiled binaries from 'php-5.3.27-Win32-VC9-x86.zip' run well on my setup (shows a help text, no error pop-up). Frankly, I am not a Windows developer, but after googling a minute I got a faith that this could be easily fixed. This is a fragment of discussion on stackoverflow: Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 has now been released, and adds official support for running apps built with VC++ 2012 on Windows XP. So I propose compiling php v5.5 binaries capable of running on Windows XP systems and putting them in download section alongside currently available ones. I believe that there is still a tremendous number of users runinng Windows XP. Thank you very much in advance. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65350&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65350&r=mysqlcfg
