Hmm, I thought I compiled VcXsrv 1.14.3.1 correctly with the v110_xp platform toolset, but when I go to start it on my XP SP3 32-bit VM (instead of on my Windows 8.1 64-bit machine), I get the error: C:\Program Files\x2goclient\VcXsrv\vcxsrv.exe is not a valid Win32 application. Similarly, x2goclient.exe states: Can't start X server Please check your installation I will investigate further. It is a 32-bit executable though. -Mike _______________________________________________ X2Go-Dev mailing list X2Go-Dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
