What is the last version to support Win XP?

[Czarek]

The cefclient.exe built from branch 2526 throws an error that this is not a valid win32 application. Running MSVM IE8 XP virtual machine with VirtualBox. I know that Google Chrome made some announcement about dropping XP support. What is the last version of CEF to support Win XP?

The 2526 branch error is https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/1787 -- that issue includes the fix. 2623 will be the last branch to support XP.

Branch 2526 worked on XP in my application after placing dbghelp.dll as instructed in Issue #1787.

However the issue with cefclient.exe is a differnt thing - looks like CEF doesn't use proper platform toolset to support Win XP. Thus the error about not a valid win32 application. Cefclient was built using VS2013 + CEF cmake + ninja.

You should specify "-T vc120_xp" on the command-line to CMake.

You should specify "-T vc120_xp" on the command-line to CMake.

Thanks, didn't know that.

hello,everybody.
After view all the above replies, I still failed to run this on windows XP.
The log seems to be like this:
[0323/181223:FATAL:v8_initializer.cc(193)] Natives length 425984 H(computed) 6712253054010136021166530816398074281061585927907128217753816605822622649472296 H(expected) 182057082785405657441391377341510657578687185349768291453135375974603228545927

I've viewed the code in the file v8_initializer.cc by google that.(https://chromium.googlesource.com/chrom ... zer.cc#193)

It seems to always calculating a wrong hash when calling the function VerifyV8StartupFile which is designed to verify the file "natives_blob.bin" and "snapshot_blob.bin" .

Anyone has some idea about this error ?
Or can someone email me a copy can run on the windows XP . (kevinyeti#gmail.com)

Are you placing the correct versions of "natives_blob.bin" and "snapshot_blob.bin" next to libcef.dll?

[bbermejo]

I am using "natives_blob.bin" and "snapshot_blob.bin" files that come from the build binaries https://cefbuilds.com/.

Solved!. The file become corrupted after copying it from remote desktop to physic pc...
