I don't have Revo Uninstaller Pro, only the free version, but will this do? Putting my moderator's hat on, I have to say that any prolonged discussion about POSReady updates, C++ Runtime versions, or .NET versions, would be of course off-topic for this thread. I know I've been guilty of posting off-topic remarks here myself recently, but if this is now likely to be a prolonged discussion, it needs to be in a new thread please. Cheers, Dave.

It works.

@nicolaasjan I have attempted to make compatible 64-bit OpenSSL shared libraries using MSYS2. If you would like to test them.

Fair enough, as long as the conversation is kept directly relevant to the use of Panda Dome on XP, or indeed any other AV program. Sorry, I have now realised that the details of the .NET 4 updates on Revo Uninstaller are not with the actual installation records, as they are called 'Security Update for....' so appear in a different place in the list! Here they all are, enjoy! The last two images have duplicated entries. Why they all seem to have the same installation date i'm not sure, I don't remember doing an OS reinstallation in February 2019!

In my main article about Panda Dome, I posted download links to get the most recent installer. Even a link to a legacy installer.

Per abbodi1406, https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist#windows-xp-notice Direct link: https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/566435ac-4e1c-434b-b93f-aecc71e8cffc/0D59EC7FDBF05DE813736BF875CEA5C894FFF4769F60E32E87BD48406BBF0A3A/VC_redist.x86.exe MDL forums reference: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/repack-visual-c-redistributable-runtimes-2020-11-10.76588/page-27#post-1630817 I can confirm that the installer is dual-signed (both SHA1+SHA256), thus it can be verified on XP SP3 (which ONLY supports SHA1 file signatures). As for the installer of version 14.29.30139.0 referenced in the "community.pcgamingwiki.com" site, this has the direct link below (courtesy of abbodi1406): https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/b929b7fe-5c89-4553-9abe-6324631dcc3a/4C6C420CF4CBF2C9C9ED476E96580AE92A97B2822C21329A2E49E8439AC5AD30/VC_redist.x86.exe but it is only SHA256-signed, so I'm not sure if its signature can be verified under XP SP3 : Just my 2c ...

Off-topic, but thanks. I have version 14.28.29213 at the moment, so this update is worth having!

@Reino Would you be able to compile OpenSSL shared libraries 3.6.0 64-bit for use in Windows 7 (Python 3.14.2 from adang1345)? The shared libraries from e.g. here are named libssl-3-x64.dll and libcrypto-3-x64.dll, which Python 64-bit doesn't recognise (see also post above) They should be named libssl-3.dll and libcrypto-3.dll instead.

Seeing you've included my 'libcrypto-3.dll' and 'libssl-3.dll' within your 'Python311_XP-folder.7z', I guess that's my confirmation.

Good luck. "Been there, done that." I've basically given up on XP. MOST here have! They'll just use their "secondary Win10", their MOBILE PHONE, or TABLET for the INCREASING number of things that can no longer be done in XP. It's SAD, we XP users gave it a good go. I continue to monitor Supermium, NM28, and St52 - but I can't "bank" with any of them "yet". As always, will see what "tomorrow brings".

Thanks, that's good to hear, although I will stick with 121 for the moment! I still can hardly believe that a browser with the latest Chromium version will actually work on XP. It's far from perfect, but the fact that it works at all amazes me!

Just a couple more observations about Supermium on 32 bit XP. The GUI font looks a bit rough, I don't know if that can be improved, but it's usable. The good thing is that it happily opens the sites that 360Chome won't now render! I had a bit of a laugh when I came to add an image to a post here, to see this - The file open dialogue looks like something from a 16-bit Windows 98 program! It doesn't work either. Drag and drop does work. The browser is rather slow opening, and a bit slow in use. I won't be abandoning 360Chrome quite yet, but it's still great to have a browser on XP which will open the sites that 360Chrome now has trouble with. Supermium used my 360Chome profile files absolutely fine, which was a big bonus!

Just to quickly report that I've now had a go with Supermium on Windows XP 32 bit, and it seems to work very well! Early days of course, but it looks very hopeful.

Nope.

??? ??? ??? My XP was used for nothing OTHER than online!

To be fair, that participant "commented", not "complained". And that same "comment" has been made regarding several other web browsers also. Seems to me that it MIGHT BE something specific to that participant's hardware or self-admitted MODDED graphic's driver. I was unable to witness this "brightness" difference in one of the participants other-browser comments. Yes, the fonts were "wider" in that other-browser comment, but to me the were the same "brightness" via screencap RGB, hue, saturation. It's simply a "comment" (just like any of our "comparisons"). Yes, the fonts are "different", Yes, dark mode is always a NIGHTMARE in "my opinion". But all is relevant to the "discussion".

Agree *AND* disagree. Ode et amo. I hate her and I love her, you ask how can that be, I don't know but it is so, and I'm in agony. Programmers like win32 are NOT thin-skinned, nobody shares a project publicly that is unable to take criticisim. We are all here to IMPROVE the project. PERIOD! I have high hopes for Supermium!

This is very insulting to say such a thing to a girl! Yes, we girls are sensitive. I just saw win32 appeared here some time ago, read the usual nonsense, and didn't reply again, which proves the point of @AstragonQC, @Dixel, me and all other members who wish well to this project and want it to continue. You're very rude, you need to apologize.

Yeah not only to the grave, I intend to be still using my old junk in hell.
