Can you let me know which build that "previous" development build was?


Apparently, Visual Studio 2012 or higher no longer support Windows XP as
a target platform. We're using VS 2015 to generate the development
builds, because that's the Visual Studio version provided by the
automated build service we're employing.

The service also has earlier build tools installed, which theoretically
should make it possible to compile and link with the VS 2010 toolset,
but in practice that leads to failures trying to build the 64 bit version.

I'll see whether we can use the VS 2010 toolset for the 32 bit versions
only.

For now, the latest development build to run on XP is probably this one
(from the semi-official series):
