I cannot launch Seamly2D on Windows XP

I have used Valentina v. 0.4.5_i386, everything was OK. Now I was trying to install Seamly2D and it doesn’t work at all. The installation seems ends successfully, but when i try to launch it, I get the error message “Entry point not found for CancelIoEx”. It’s an application error or the new version doesn’t support Windows XP at all?

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing it?

have you tried using the control panel under XP to completely deinstall the old program, then reinstalling a new version from scratch? I would expect that the pipeline that is used to build the windows version does not support XP but it MAY be possible to finesse it

No I’m really sorry that we can’t support Windows XP anymore. It’s not something that we have control over. XP was released 16 years ago, and the latest XP update was 9 years ago. Microsoft completely stopped supporting it four years ago which means nobody can produce software for it anymore. I know how you feel, I really liked XP too.
