Are you joking about windows XP visual c++ redist and wamp compatibility? (1 reply)

Hi. You said:

"WAMPServer 3 will not run on Windows XP, by virtue of it containing Apache2.4.17+ and that requiring Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2015 (VC14) which will not install on Windows XP. No MSVC runtimes greater than Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2010 (VC10) will install on Windows XP"

Which I immediately noticed is not true. When we go to each visual c++ redist download page, we clearly see it says that windows xp is supported. And I have installed visualc++ redists 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015-2017 on windows xp.

Am I correct, and if I am, does wamp 3 work on windows XP?
I mean why would I keep using wamp 2.4.4 if I can use last version?
Should I download last version? I am currently using one you say is last for xp: 2.4.4.

Also I noticed that openssl from 2.4.4 does not work on windows xp.
Something about ordinal 3807 lebeay32.dll.
