Installing Code::Blocks Windows XP SP3
AndrewCot:
The Wow64GetThreadContext is in the dbgcore.dll file. The dbgcore.dll is refefnced in the dbghelp.dll.
Looks like you may have used the latest files. They the x64 files from:
https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/code/11196/tree/trunk/src/exchndl/win64/bin/
The dbghelp.dll. in the directory above does not reference the dbgcore.dll and as such does not require it and therefore the Wow64GetThreadContext error should not occur.
Can you please post if this is okay as if it does work then I will see if I can do something in the installers I have been working on to address this if it is even possible.
AndrewCot:
@Commaster. I have updated my unofficial x64 NSIS only installer that you can read up about on the following thread https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,24592.0.html to include changes specifically for for Win XP that should if it works as programmed will install the correct files for x64 XP that I downloaded from the https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/code/11196/tree/trunk/src/exchndl/win64/bin/ directory.
If you do try the x64 NSIS installer and it works or not could you post in the https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,24592.0.html how it went.

I think you mean @Tim, cause I don't have a Win XP x64, just using google :)

@AndrewCot
I've just tried the files at:- https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/code/11196/tree/trunk/src/exchndl/win64/bin/
Unfortunately Code::blocks started up with the same error of:-
"The procedure entry point Wow64GetThreadContext could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"
Please don't try too hard on my account, I'm fine using the 32bit version, That said I will continue to test any fixes you suggest. I don't want to wear out my welcome, as I have some more pressing questions to ask in the near future, as soon as I have educated myself enough to ask a sensible question and understand the answer.
Regards... Tim

@tim. I have grabbed the Windows XP 32 and 64 bit ISO files from https://archive.org . I then copied a script I use to do an unattended Virtualbox guest install of Linux and modified it to install Windows XP 32 and 64 bit OS's as it's a lot faster and I do not need to do anything apart from run the batch file as it's fully automated and I end up with a working Windows guest.
I have successfully installed the NSIS 32 bit installer on XP x86 and x64 and was able to run C::B without and errors popping up.
I did not get the x64 C::B build to run on Windows XP x64 SP2. I get a "The procedure entry point _wassert could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll." pop up error. The msvcrt.dll is 7.0.3790 and I cannot find an update for XP x64. I traced the change in MinGW-64 to 2013 when the _wassert was added, so it's not like you can go back a few years to a compiler that does not include it and build C::B.
Looks like the work around is to use the C::B 32 bit version, unless you can find a later msvcrt.dll that works and there are no more issues.
