NanoVNA-saver and Windows XP

TONY G4WIF All Messages By This Member #6105 I am really delighted with NanoVNA-saver on my Windows 10 PC.s It really is a delight to use. I have a small work bench area and I would like to also use an old Samsung Q1 ultra - an early XP small windows tablet computer. It works just fine with another well known NanoVNA package but when I try running NanoVNA saver v0.1.4 I get the following error... "Entry point not found" "The procedure entry point GetFinalPathNameByHandleW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNAL32.dll" [I'm running XP service pack 3 if that helps] Does anyone have any suggestions please? Kind regards Tony
Rune Broberg All Messages By This Member #6111 Hello Tony, The application is written in Python 3.7, and using PyQt5 5.11 as the UI library. Python is not available from version 3.5 on XP, and PyQt5 support ended at 5.5, as far as I can tell. The source is available, so you could try to download NanoVNA-Saver and run it using whatever Python and PyQt5 versions you can get running on Windows XP. Microsoft ended the extended support for Windows XP 5? years ago, 5 years after ending mainstream support, and as such, I have no way to get build machines to make releases for it myself. I build executables for Windows 7 32 bit, which is the oldest Windows version currently supported by Microsoft. You should also be aware that the 1024x600 screen on the Q1 won't fit much of the application at a time. I hope you manage to get something running, and at the very least, that it continues to be enjoyable on your Windows 10 computer. :-) -- Rune / 5Q5R toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, 31 Oct 2019 at 12:51, <groupsio@...> wrote: I am really delighted with NanoVNA-saver on my Windows 10 PC.s It really is a delight to use.

Larry Rothman All Messages By This Member #6112 It may actually be more beneficial to run dual OSes on that machine: XP and Linux In fact, why not run Linux as the base OS and XP in a VM or even drop XP in favour of WINE? Who knows - WINE may run XP apps faster... ...Larry toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thursday, October 31, 2019, 8:18:29 a.m. GMT-4, Rune Broberg <mihtjel@...> wrote: Hello Tony, The application is written in Python 3.7, and using PyQt5 5.11 as the UI library.

Gyula Molnar All Messages By This Member #6128 Visual C ++ is required to render the graphics, so if you can, there is hope. I tried to install on windows 7-32 bit machine that lacked the SP1 service pack and couldn't install it. I tried Python 3.7.4 on the same machine, but it didn't work because of the missing Ms Visual C ++. Gyula HA3HZ
QRP RX All Messages By This Member #6136 You can use NanoVNASharp MOD V3: It works on Windows XP and has most of needed functionality, include capture screenshot button and TDR :)
TONY G4WIF All Messages By This Member #6241 Thanks for your suggestions Rune. I wouldn't put you to the trouble of trying to build an XP machine simply for this. It is enough that the little Q1 works with NanoVNA Mod3 (as noted by QRP RX elsewhere). Thanks to the group for all the other suggestions. Kind regards Tony
