XP SP3 requirement?

Jernej,

I run XP SP2 on some machines. My vote is also to support SP2. Why is SP2 unsupported, can't you fire up a VM with it on or something? At least provide 2 separate installers, with SP2 and SP3 requirements...

Jernej,

The "GTK+ and GIMP installers for Windows" project is listed as GPL-licensed on Sourceforge, but I can't seem to find the source files used to make the latest GIMP-2.8 installer. Could you tell me where I can get them? For example, where the latest Inno Setup ISS script is?

Oops, I forgot to upload the new script - it's now up (though the only changes from the 2.7.4 script are check for SSE and cleanup of a few obsolete plugins from 2.6).

... and also, presumably, this:

MinVersion=0,5.01sp3 //MinVersion=0,5.0

I changed the registry entry following registry entry on my machine to fake SP3 being installed:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows] "CSDVersion"=dword:00000300

The setup ran fine and GIMP 2.8.0 runs fine. I really think the Windows installer should not refuse to install on SP2, and at most should popup a 'not supported' warning. It's pointless to put a barricade in place because of a registry entry.
