Compatibility issue with Win7 and WinXP

Post by RPC »

Hi
I have complied a program in Win10 64 bit to download files from internet.
The program downloads files on my laptop.
However when it is run on win7 or winXP nothing is downloaded.
Can anyone please help me solve this problem.
I have enclosed the program

Thanks

Thanks Jimmy for quick answer.
I really don't know about if "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP" exist in XP.
Actually I don't even know what this is.
I was given code to download by Edward(edk)(Thank you Edward) and I have used it in my this module.
Is "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP" also not available in win7 because I was informed the program is also not working in win 7 64 bit.
Can you please suggest some solution.
Many thanks.

Hi. I think TLS is the problem. From what I can see, the site you want to download from is currently using TLS 1.3, and from what I remember, Windows XP and Windows 7 don't support this protocol.

Thank you very much for the response.
Can you please suggest any way out.
There is another error posted on the forum where I posted my program to download quotes for which you had provided me links and relevant code. I have enclosed SS
Please have a look .

Rajeev, the same problem, does not support last TLS. I am currently not using an old unsupported operating system. Maybe try to check how to enable TLS 1.2 on Win 7, maybe that fixes the problem.

Hi Edward,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have found a link here which explains how to enable TLS 1.2 on win 7.

I really apologize for bothering you so much.

Many thanks

I found something like this (also for XP): https://www.emailarchitect.net/easendma ... ls12_a.htm
It seems that after enabling TLS 1.2 for EWS (WinHttp) it should work. I have not tested :!:

I have tried installing patches for enabling TLSv1.2 on my winXP .
It seems there are compatibility issues between my winXP and the patch :( .
I get a message "The version of windows you have installed does not match the update you are trying to install"

Still happy my program is at least working on win 10

Thank you Edward(edk) for all you efforts and time

Rajeev
