LSDguy Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hey Homies, I have a question, will Hyperspin and Rocketlauncher run on Windows XP? I have it currently running, slowly, on a netbook with windows 7. I'm thinking of downgrading the Operating system to make the system run smoother. Will I run into any snags with .NET framework or anything? Any help or thoughts would be appreciated before I pull the trigger on this. Best, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volumetric Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The updating process in rocketlaunch requires net framework 4.5 which is not compatible with xp. That's the only snag ive come across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSDguy Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Sweet, mine is fully updated as of yesterday so I should be good. It would be running in a mini arcade build. I'm giving it to a friend, he'll likely never update or tinker with it Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot man, everything worked great. I ran into a .dll error with RocketLauncher but solved it by installing .NET Framework 2. Now everyting is peachy keen and much speedier.

This is wrong, RLUI (not RL) requires .NET 4.0 only so you should be fine running it on XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSDguy Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Good to know. That's the great thing about forums. Appreciate the clarification brolly hopefully this will help someone in the future. It was actually your advice on the rlauncher forum that helped me when I ran into the dll error.

Had Net 4.0 installed on XP for a while now and the updater always fails with a "cannot read from closed TextReader" error EDIT: this thread would also suggest that 4.5 is a minimum requirement: http://www.rlauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?970-error-Cannot-read-from-a-closed-text-reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brolly Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 lol yeah I'd like to think so as well ^^ I'm guessing you also didn't read all posts from that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time i was testing RL on an XP machine before installing on W7, so the lack of update feature didn't really bother me too much. Certainly no disrespect intended sir.
