[WINXP] SE refuses to start

[deadlyboring]

Hey there, after playing a great while with Standard Simutrans i tried to try the Experimental Version in order to test all the new functions. After Downloading from http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=8930.0 and unzipping i received an Error saying the "routine entry point(this is translated since my computer spitted it out in german)" inet_ntop could not been found in DLL WS2_32.dll.

As this is most certainly not a bug by Simutrans but by my hands any help for solving this problem is welcome.

Preciously discussed -> http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=8512.0

Someone from the Exp. crew will have to tell you which version contains the fix, though...

Hello - welcome to the forums! Thank you for trying Experimental, and sorry that you are having trouble. May I ask - which version of Experimental are you using? I thought that I had fixed this issue in 10.5 (by applying the fix from Standard), but have been unable to test, as I do not run Windows XP.

i do remember that same error popped - its was on 10.4 or something because i tried to start the experiment exe which now fixed in 10.5

First of all sorry for my late response, which may hopefully be apologized by having some tests lately.
It is Simutrans 110.0 Experimental 10.4 used with latest stable pak.britain, as announced in your post.
Since VS showed me the right topic i was able to fix the problem by just using ip4-executable, which in fact i thought was a network-gaming-related exe. sorry for causing that trouble, and many thanks for the help!

[jamespetts]

I recommend that you upgrade to 10.5, which not only fixes this issue without the need for the IPv4 only executable, but also fixes some other bugs, too.

Thanks James. Really great work on that one. Runs perfectly on my old machine!
