FranceBB Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 On their website, they state that XP is supported, but when I downloaded it and tried to run it, I got the same message you got: Let's see who is to blame... Uhm... ADVAPI32.DLL which calls RegGetValueW. A function that retrieves the type and data for the specified registry value. LSTATUS RegGetValueW( HKEY hkey, LPCWSTR lpSubKey, LPCWSTR lpValue, DWORD dwFlags, LPDWORD pdwType, PVOID pvData, LPDWORD pcbData ); "hkey" is used to open registry keys, "lpSubKey" is the name of the registry key, "lpValue" is the name of the registry value, "dwFlags" is a flag to define the data type of the value (REG_DWORD, REG_BINARY, REG_QWORD ecc), "pdwType" is pointer to a variable that receives a code indicating the type of data stored in the specified value, "pvDat" is a pointer to a buffer that receives the value's data, "pcbData" is a pointer to a variable that specifies the size of the buffer pointed to by "pvData". According to MS documentation, the function is available on Windows Vista. And "abracadabra": mIRC 7.53 Windows XP: Link Cheers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamris Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) It's because it probably expects Dibya's ExtendedXP to be installed now. Edited December 6, 2018 by Tamris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app calls a fake kernel32 which redirects the call to kernelxp which is included in the package. Quote Just installed and again the same problem like it was with audacity at first.Master @FranceBB we need to fix this issue! Weird, 'cause it's there: I tested it on a clean system too and it works. @Dibya can you test the install (just to confirm that it's working)?
