We implicitly dropped Windows XP when switching to python 3.5. Python has the so called PEP system and PEP 11 "Removing support for little used platforms" defines the support for windows XP to be over at the same time Microsoft stopped supporting it. Since python 3.5 released after XP died it does not support XP.
While it might be possible to backport python 3.5 to windows XP i think that we should not do this. So blender 2.77 will not run on XP. The 32 bit release requires Vista or newer and the 64 bit release Windows 7 SP1 or newer. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
