OT: Luckily for me, v2.10 does launch successfully under Vista SP2 x86 :P

Actually also still works on Windows 2000 BWC ExK

:yes:

The installer is bulit with a version of Inno Setup newer than 5.x (last version branch to support XP), that's why it doesn't work.

I've never used the installer, so I haven't even checked to see if it works.

It will not work. You will get a "not a vaild Win32 application" error when attempting to open the installer.

Yep! I have never used the installer of CPU-Z. The portable version is absolutely enough. Personally, I always prefer portable versions, especially when there is no real reason to use an installer. Thanks for reporting that the version 2.11 is again XP-compatible!

... This is a generic Windows error produced when one tries to run a Windows executable which has a sub system version value inside its PE Header higher than the host OS the executable currently resides in; e.g., file "cpu-z_2.11-en.exe" has a value of "6.1": 

015MQ1a.png

meaning launch will proceed on Win7 (SP1) and higher; thus, when that .EXE is double-clicked on NT 5.x (XP and its servers) and on NT 6.0 (Vista and its server) it will generate the error mentioned; however, this error doesn't tell the whole story on its own; you can try to lower the sub system version value (with special PE Header tools ;)) to match your current OS and then try anew; sometimes, you may be surprised :P ...

Still, in this particular case it's the version of the InnoSetup (IS) script used to package the installer that is the real obstacle on Win < 7 (as already mentioned here and here :yes: ) ; when you can't successfully run the installer even after patching its PE Header, you may try to extract its payload instead (not needed, obviously, in the case of CPU-Z, since the author already provides zipped distributions :thumbup ) ...

Mind you, the most popular InnoSetup extracting tools (innounp.exe, innoextract.exe and GUIs containing them, like UniExtract2) don't (yet) support IS script versions 6.1+ :no: : 

https://sourceforge.net/p/innounp/discussion/353235/thread/ef0e2c5c41/

Luckily, thanks to a compatriot of AstroSkipper's called Jürgen Rathlev, such a tool has recently been made available :worship: ; the CLI is called "innounp-unicode" and it's currently at version 1.72: 

https://github.com/jrathlev/InnoUnpacker-Windows-GUI/raw/master/innounp-1/bin/innounp-172.zip

One can use the standalone CLI or use it inside a dedicated GUI, InnoUnpacker-WinGUI-v1.9.5 : 

https://www.rathlev-home.de/index-e.html?home-e.html#unpack

Tip: If you're already a UniExtract2 user (like myself :P ), you can substitute the old v0.50 of innounp.exe contained inside it with the CLI of "innounp-unicode" :sneaky: ...

Disclaimer: ALL tests were done on a Vista SP2 x86 machine, nowhere near an XP box at the moment :( ; test for yourself and report back...

@VistaLover Thank you very much for the information, unfortunately, InnoUnpacker v1.9.5 is not compatible with Windows XP, so I had to run that under a supported OS (Windows 7, for example), extracted CPU-Z's setup using it, and found a .iss file there.

All what I had to do is install an old version of Inno Setup Compiler, one that supports XP (in this case, v5.6.1), load the .iss file from there, and then compile the setup. The v2.11 setup installer now runs again under Windows XP.

PS: Added back old wizard bitmaps for fun.

I also have a copy of the source code  but, like you, couldn't really find anything useful.

As stunnel is stupidly light-weight and easy to deploy (no real install needed) I'm hoping it will keep me going for a few years yet.

Anyway, thanks for your comprehensive summary which should be useful to anyone else researching this subject. Jose Alf also deserves a little more prominence for his work.

Ben.
 

A lot more time passes….

 

Please know that my 32-bit binaries for stunnel now support  windows XP. I also upgraded openssl to the latest LTS version (3.0.15 when this was posted).

 I found this thread due to the fact that traffic was being redirected from msfn.org to my github page… You should have opened on issue and it may have been faster 🙂

 

Regards

Josealf

Thanks for reporting! :) The tool innounp 1.72 from my compatriot Jürgen Rathlev :P is definitely XP-compatible and works fine here. No need to extract the file cpu-z_2.11-en.exe under Windows 7 or higher. :no:
