Pretty sure Windows XP is not supported. Time to upgrade, or switch to a different OS.

There are people who can provide support for XP solutions? Zcbenz just felt limited resources to support. If you can, we are willing to provide cost. Thank you

Where is the hard part to getting atom-shell to support for XP?

@lygstate Atom Shell is built on top of Chromium/Chrome, for which Windows XP support will cease next month (April 2015): http://chrome.blogspot.com/2013/10/extending-chrome-support-for-xp-users.html. After that point there is no guarantee that it will continue working on XP.

It simply isn't worth the effort. It's an almost 14 year old operating system. It reached end of life in April last year.

Thanks, @thomasjo , I know the deadline, but it's worth for me, please do some help.

At the moment Atom Shell is Win7 or higher, because it calls into Touch-specific APIs that don't exist in Vista. I don't think XP is a reasonable request in 2015, sorry.

@paulcbetts Thanks, I'v already found those API that lost, I can disable those things optionally.

I'm sorry - XP support isn't on the table. Going to lock this issue now.
