LilyPond-2.22.2 does not work on Windows XP

Hi, I have a Windows XP computer with Lilypond 2.10.25. It works fine with simple program codes and advanced code developed with earlier versions of Lilypond. It does not work so well when I try to use a newer program developed with a later version of Lilypond, as I get many error messages.

Which link did you use? This one? The full collection of past downloads is here: Try 2.20 or 2.18 if a fresh download of 2.22 doesn't work. -- Karlin High Missouri, USA

Windows XP mainstream end date April 14 2009, extended end date April 8 2014. Not exactly a supported platform nowadays. No possibility for you to upgrade? At the very least you would get support for Lilypond from the list, and be able to use 64 bit. Not too many members would have XP machine

Hello Dag, As mentioned in my post Windows XP is way, way past any support from Microsoft (EOL 2009!). A couple of others have queried why it is necessary for you to be running this system also. Before people go to extraordinary lengths to source XP machines to try to help, would you ever so

Each to his own. But allow me to mention that VueScan supports hundreds of scanners, it not every scanner, and provides a very good solution to that if you are ever interested. It's unfair to say Microsoft has made network file sharing difficult (why would they try?). Millions of users have no

Probably quite off the wall and not acceptable, but there are other operating systems! At work we regularly repurposed old 32-bit Windows boxes as up to date 64-bit Linux boxes when a special use one-off node was needed. For some reason best known to Microsoft Windows held systems down in 32-bit

I used XP64 for a while.  What killed it for me was that when XP service pack 3 came out, many programs started to require the new facilities it included, and so checked for SP3 being installed.  XP64 had the same service pack, but because the 64bit XP had come out later than the 32bit version,
