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.
