Thank You in advance, John Opera consisted of two development streams. Up to release 12.15 or so, it was Presto??? Later versions were based on Chromium (Google) as an engine. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3056...-mac-os-x.html "Version 50 of Google’s browser recently rolled out without support for Windows XP" https://www.opera.com/docs/history/ Opera 37 Release date 2016-05-04 Rendering engine Chromium 50 JavaScript engine V8 Opera 36 Release date 2016-03-15 Rendering engine Chromium 49 --- WinXP OK ??? JavaScript engine V8 Your version should be safe then. V28 would be Chromium based, but before Google removed WinXP support. Perhaps the problem is related to your choice of SP2 ? ******* These might be for SP3. http://www.oldapps.com/google_chrome...tem=Windows_XP Google Chrome 36.0.1941.0 (Dev) 16 April, 2014 Google Chrome 35.0.1916.47 (Beta) 16 April, 2014 Google Chrome 34.0.1847.116 08 April, 2014 There is at least one registry modification you can do, to change the (claimed) release of your OS to SP3. But that's only going to work, if that's the kind of error you're getting. If the installer is actually relying on an SP3 feature, like a kernel call or something, that won't work. Could you post error detail, just for fun ? The sample of Opera I downloaded, the files are just in a kind of archive, so at first glance the installation doesn't look that scary. It's probably not an msiexec error or a Windows Installer version error. The file set does give the impression that the browser is "interested" in your graphics subsystem. Version of DirectX perhaps.

Could you post error detail, just for fun ? Hi Paul, I am sorry I did not write down the error message. After that, I deleted Opera 28. Note: This PC has a FAT32 HD with dual boot. I recall when I tried to install Chrome for WinXP, several months ago, with a FAT32 HD (because HD was dual boot with Win98 on C: and WinXP on D, I got an error message that did not make me aware the root cause was FAT32. Another PC, same WinXP version, but NTFS HD, I had no errors when I installed the same version of Chrome. The sample of Opera I downloaded, the files are just in a kind of archive, so at first glance the installation doesn't look that scary. It's probably not an msiexec error or a Windows Installer version error. The file set does give the impression that the browser is "interested" in your graphics subsystem. Version of DirectX perhaps.

Thanks again, John |
