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.

Link with Dynamic RTL=true
Compiler running under XP prompt error
Unable to locate the program input point acquiresrwlockshared on the dynamic link library kernel32.dll.
AcquireSRWLockShared() was introduced in Windows Vista. Clearly something in your project is static-linking to that function, so the error message makes sense when running your code on XP. Note also that you enabled the Dynamic RTL, but you did not also enable the Delphi Runtime Library, too. Typically, most C++Builder users disable these options to produce standalone executables, but you seem to want to enable them instead to utilize runtime BPLs (which will still fail to load on XP btw, even if your main EXE could run).
XP is no longer a supported platform. You can't run the IDE itself on XP, nor can you run programs compiled with 10.4 on XP. The IDE itself requires Windows 10 or later. Compiled programs require Windows 7 SP1 or later. See Operating System Requirements in 10.4's documentation.
The last version to officially support compiled programs running on XP was XE2. Support for XP was dropped in XE3.
I attempt to install WinXP file on vmware using iso file with all settings below:
image1
However, when running, the console tells me that Operating System not found
image2.
I also check "connect at power on", reboot the VMware but no effect. Can you tell me what the problem is and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance.
File provided by link in comment is ServicePack 2 for Windows XP - it's not media with operating system. VMware shows truth on console, because it's not operating system, but package with updates for Windows XP. Conclusion: you have to download bootable operating system media.
In addition even if you will find any bootable media you have to remember, that you must pay for license key. Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, but it is not freeware product.
What are the system requirements for vscode?
The download page only shows the different platforms this is available on, but doesn't mention any requirements such as Windows version (i know it doesn't work on XP) or additional required components, such as the .NET framework.
System requirements for VSCode are available on the documentation page.
In a nutshell, VSCode now is self contained for Linux, Mac and Windows. There is a complete list for the additional helpful tools available on the setup page.
It's not listed in their requirements, but you'll also need a decent video card. It may seem ridiculous, since it's mainly displaying text, but vscode's GPU hardware requirement is well beyond what other applications require. There is a switch --disable-gpu to switch it to software rendering but it's still laggy.
As of Version 1.32
1.6 GHz or faster processor with 1 GB RAM recommended
OS X Yosemite
Windows 7 (with .NET Framework 4.5.2), 8.0, 8.1 and 10 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Linux with GLIBCXX version 3.4.15 or later, GLIBC version 2.15 or later, tested with Linux (Debian): Ubuntu Desktop 14.04, Debian 7, Linux (Red Hat): Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, CentOS 7, Fedora 23
I've installed Google Web Designer on Windows XP, and saw this error:
The procedure entry point GetSystemDefaultLocaleName could not be located in the dynamic library KERNEL32.dll
What can I do?
I think that it won't support XP.
Here are the minimum system requirements, according to their documentation:
Operating system
Windows requirements
Windows 7
Windows 8
I think it does not support Windows XP. I installed in Windows 7. No issues. The error you have got is mainly caused by misinterpreted operating system -- that's described as a possible cause in Microsoft's support knowledge base:
The application is misinterpreting the operating system version and is trying to call a procedure in the Windows 95 or Windows 98 version of the Dynamic Link Library (DLL) that is unavailable in Windows NT version 4.0 or Windows 2000.
Windows XP is not supported. See the system requirements.
My Clearcase Version: 7.1.0 .
My os is windows 7, after I installed Clearcase. I couldn't create a dynamic view by using Create View.And I found that when i start clearcase service from control panel, there is only two service.
Is there any ways to correct this problem except to download a higher version.
ClearCase 7.1.2 is deployed on our Windows 7 at work.
However, when I see that there is only two services, that means MVFS (which is a device, not a driver) has failed to install properly.
The usual fix is to uninstall and reinstall ClearCase.
But there is no guarantee for 7.1.0.
The OP adds:
I have reinstall it three times, but the problem still exists
That confirms 7.1.0 is not supported (at least for the dynamic views part) on Windows 7.
As "System Requirements for ClearCase 7.1.x" confirms, Windows7 SP1 actually needs 7.1.2.3 at minimum.
And even then, you can have some issue: " PM54437: Windows 7 64bit MVFS clients flood albd_server of the View Server host with ALBD_FIND_SERVER RPCs" (which needs 7.1.2.6)
So getting the latest 7.1.x is recommended.
In your case though, since it isn't possible to get a version above 7.1.0, you can try and install a Virtual PC Windows Xp on your Windows 7.
Microsoft Virtual PC for Windows (formerly Connectix Virtual PC) is a client based software virtualization application that allows simultaneous operating systems to run on a single PC.
Each virtual machine emulates a complete hardware system—from processor to network card—in a self-contained, isolated software environment, enabling the simultaneous operation of otherwise incompatible systems.
ClearCase does support Virtual PC.
