Subject: emacs 28.2 on Windows XP 32-bit
Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2022 12:48:46 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f175e1cd-8ee3-023e-ca4b-82ac393ef3c5@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi there,

The FAQ says that emacs 28.2 will run on all versions of Windows from 98 
onwards, including XP.  But when I try to run it on my Windows XP 32 bit 
system I get the "not a valid Win32 application" error, both after 
downloading and extracting the emacs-28.2.zip file, and then deleting 
the extracted folder and downloading and running the installer.

I can run 27.2 after downloading and extracting the emacs-27.2-i686.zip 
file, but I cannot find any i686 zip or installer files in the 28.2 or 
28.1 download directories...?

Hoping this is just an oversight that can be sorted by providing 32-bit 
downloads, if they're available...?

Cheers, Peter
