Title: [11.9] Doesn't run for me (Windows XP)
Post by: Jando on August 30, 2013, 10:10:24 PM
Odd thing, thought to upgrade to 11.9 - however with both the complete package and with the Windows binaries download I get a Windows XP message "Simutrans-Experimental.exe is no valid Win32 application". Well, I get the message in German but it means the same. :)

Hmm - that is odd indeed. What is the most recent version that worked for you? Have you extracted the .dll files that come with the .zip?

Hello James!

Here's a screenshot of the Simutrans-Experimental folder, is something missing? http://i.imgur.com/wn637xE.jpg

And I was still using version 11.5, that's why I thought to update to the newest version.

Thank you for the report. I have found the source of the error (an incompatibility with Windows XP), and found the solution, which should be enabled in the next release. Apologies that you are having difficulties.

Have you managed to get this working with 11.10?
