I only know that few of the team are likely to have windows xp installed.  

The release date of XP is October 25, 2001.  This makes it over 20 years old.  Is there a compelling reason it should be supported?

Windows XP is a great operating system with a lot of software written for it. It is fast to boot up and takes little resources making it ideal for use in a virtual machine. Plus it looks way better than Windows 10 (or 11).

To answer your other question.  I believe we officially support Windows 7 and later. 

Thank you very much for the help.

I went to the Windows installers page and was able to download and install all the installers in Windows XP. When I tried to run ProjectCenter and Gorm they both cited an error with libcairo-2.dll. A fix to this problem was to find the file and set the PATH variable to point to its containing folder. When I tried to run both programs again I saw another error. Does GNUstep support Windows XP? What are the official Windows system requirements?

Thank you.
