Is it possible to install Agent on windows XP?
I know it is possible to install on Linux - could not find a way to install on Windows XP
I only need to run the build on the XP machine
Using Azure DevOps Server 2020
For Self-hosted Windows agents, currently supported Windows OS versions:
Client OS: Windows 7, 8.1, or 10
Server OS: Windows 2008 R2 SP1 or higher
Windows XP is no longer supported as the host of agents.
To view more details, you can see "Self-hosted Windows agents".
Solution
Using Jenkins which can install agent on windows XP.
Set Web-hooks to connect to Jenkins server
Problems
Very Slow GIT pull/clone/push on Windows XP
PowerShell Scripts are limited to Windows XP PowerShell version
Git Version Limited to Git-2.10.0-32-bit
LFS version Limited to git-lfs-windows-v2.8.0 (GO lang limition)
Windows credential must use git-credential-winstore - GIT CREDENTIAL ON WIN XP
I hope this will help anyone needs to use XP

What needs to be done to build for Windows XP using the latest version of WAF and MSVC 2015? In the GUI, you can set the platform toolset to "Windows XP." Can this be done in the wscript?
I'm trying to download MongoDB and I'm running Windows 10 64bit. All of the versions for download say either Windows Server 2008 64bit, or Windows Vista 32bit. Is it fine to just get one of the Windows Server 2008 versions, or is there just no support for Windows 10? Am I missing some sort of equivalence?
Current Downloads Page
The windows server 2008 64 bit version runs fine under Windows 10 x64.
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/
Uncheck "Install MongoDB Compass" and try again. worked for me
When I go to https://www.mongodb.com/download-center#community I don't see a version specific to windows7 64bit to install?which version should I install for windows6?
Ok this seems not clear. But you need to use the Windows Server 2008 R2 64-Bit Installer, with or without SSL support.
The others are a 32-Bit version and a legay 64-Bit version of mongodb, that does not make use of some windows features.
So this (with SSL) or this (without SSL).
Heres a reference to the Installation instructions of MongoDB.
MongoDB for Windows 64-bit runs only on Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 64-bit, and newer versions of Windows. This build takes advantage of recent enhancements to the Windows Platform and cannot operate on older versions of Windows.
MongoDB for Windows 64-bit Legacy runs on Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 and does not include recent performance enhancements.
I see on github for windows it's for windows 7 and 8.
can you install it on windows server 2008 r2?
i have a fire walled server that is for our .net code as our team foundation server so I was going to use the same server to host our source control for cocoa/mac applications we have...
If you are after a Git server (as in able to host git repos), you can consider, on Windows, the Bonobo Git server.
It knows how to interface with IIS, and is compatible with various Windows releases, including windows server 2008 r2.
Is it still possible to WHQL-certify drivers for Windows XP, given that it has reached its end of life?
If so, which version of the Windows Logo Kit do I need?
Windows Logo Kit 1.6 won't install on my Windows XP Service Pack 3 machine.
In particular, when I try to install Windows Logo Kit 1.6 on Windows XP with Service Pack 3, I'm unable to install any of the components, with the detail text being:
http://pastebin.com/rWRfMiZy
e.g. things like:
REQUIRED COMPONENT: "EULA" unavailable due to status = Not Installable
ISSUE: Unsupported OS SKU
DETAIL: Current OS: Windows XP (Supported OS: Windows Longhorn Server)
ISSUE: Unsupported CPU Architecture
DETAIL: Current CPU: x86 (Supported CPU: x64)
Yes, you can still certify hardware for XP (but not systems). WLK 1.6 is the correct version and should install on XP. See this.
What happens when you try to install it?
EDIT: It's been a while since I was involved with WHQL testing, so ignore the information above. That link is wrong. I've done some further investigation and here are the facts:
The kit can be installed on and run from a Windows 2003 server only. That is the controller/master box that runs, controls and collects the test info. It also makes the submissions. You need a second test box running the OS you're certifying for. It runs as a slave to the server.
The only way to certify for XP is to certify for Vista, 2003 or Win7, and then you are automatically approved for XP.
