[solved] QCAD win32 is not running in Windows XP

Post by zelea202 » Thu Aug 27, 2020 12:17 am

I don't suppose anyone cares but the win32 version is not running on Windows XP anymore (it says not a valid win32 application).
I have an VESA monitor back-mounted little computer controlling my CNC router which is running XP.

Yes, I can confirm that.

@Andrew
Version qcad-3.24.3.10-pro-win32 (Archive) runs flawless on XP ...

Honestly, I tested it with a smirk on my face but that should remain our secret, ok? :wink:

It was becoming more and more of a compromise to support the whole stretch of Windows systems from XP to 10 with one single binary. Therefore, we've decided to create a separate "legacy" binary for Windows XP. You can find it in your download section under

QCAD Professional 3.25.0 for Windows XP 32bit (Installer)

This is just the good old binary, we've used before which might or might not also work on newer Windows installations.
