As of 1.05.000 and higher the executable no longer runs on XP. This is because on of the components we use restricts us to newer OSes (Vista and higher). I probably should make this clearer on the webpage and I should offer up a solution for older OSes. What you can do is use the older version which can be downloaded here: http://files.gnubg.org/media/windows/gnubg-1_04_001-20141204-setup.exe If you use 1.04.001 you should not use random.org for dice generation since that feature is now broken in anything before 1.05.000. -- Michael Petch GNU Backgammon Maintainer / Developer OpenPGP FingerPrint=D81C 6A0D 987E 7DA5 3219 6715 466A 2ACE 5CAE 3304 _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
