Installing Code::Blocks Windows XP SP3
podoroges:
Hello, I'm using Win XP 32bit, SP3.
I tried to install codeblocks-20.03mingw-32bit-setup.exe
Installation completed successfully, but on launch of codeblocks.exe there was an error:
The application has failed to start because api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll was not found.
Quick googling shows that Visual C++ Redistributable should be installed
I have installed vcredist_x86.exe from microsoft site, and get another error:
The procedure entry point _o__configure_narrow_argv could not be located.
I even performed complete reinstall my Win XP. After clean installation the error is the same.
Does that mean that Code::Blocks no longer support Win XP?
Could you help me, please?

You need to copy some DLL files from the prior CB release.

Dear Tim,
Thank you for your answer. I followed your advice, downloaded 7 files from
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/codeblocks/code/trunk/src/exchndl/win32/bin/
to codeblocks directory (5 of them were overwrited).
However, the error is the same, and codeblocks will not start.
LETARTARE:
You must use svn11196, not svn12091 !
@developpers
To avoid this recurring problem, could you modify the corresponding version in the repository ?
podoroges:
Dear LETARTARE,
It works, thank you!
For those, who experience similar problems.
Go to https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/code/11196/tree/trunk/src/exchndl/win32/bin/
Download all 6 files. Place to Codebloks directory (overwrite will be required).
So, it still works with XP, such a relief!
