Hi, couldn't resist taking you up on that XP claim :-) I tested Qt Creator 3.3.81 built morning of March 30:
* On my XP machine: works fine (no patching required!) * Windows 10 latest preview: works fine (future proof) * Windows XP in Virtual Box 4.3.10: works fine * Windows XP in VMWare Fusion 6.0.5: works fine * Windows XP in VMWare Workstation 11.1.0: crashes with illegal instruction in opengl32sw.dll :-( The cure is to delete that file opengl32sw.dll and try again, then Qt Creator works, except of course for the Welcome plugin which is not so welcoming) So why the snag in the VMWare Workstation XP? Well I ran qtdiag.exe (BTW what an excellent program that is, has no pretty UI but in my mind it's part of the real gold in Qt) turns out in both VMWare cases it's the same vmx_fb.dll that's used, for the XP in Fusion it returns LibGL vendor VMWare Inc. format version 2.0, which seems kosher for opengl32sw.dll. But for the XP in Workstation 11 it returns LibGL vendor Microsoft Corp Generic GDI format version 1.1, and that's probably why opengl32sw.dll goes haywire and has to be taken out behind the barn and shot. + also for now installing the MSVC2013 dlls into the bowels of Windows, the vanilla Qt 5.4.1 installs them alongside qtcreator.exe and as you know this is heavily frowned upon by Microsoft. (Unless of course you are Microsoft, in that case you can grant yourself an exemption from this rule like when installing the new Visual C++ Tools/Windows 10 Kit.) Rgrds Henry P.S. BTW saw that 3.3.81 brings along Timeline.dll, is that a new feature (QML profiler stuff)?
