Forgive me if this is not the right place to ask, but why can't the executable "dlangide.exe" be run in Windows XP? Which 32-bit architecture is targeted?

It's 32bit (x86) executable.
I didn't test it on XP. Not sure if it would work.

BTW, new release v0.8.1 binaries are uploaded.

Neither v0.8.0 or v0.8.1 work on Windows XP SP3 32-bit:

"dlangide.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

I remember that in newer Visual Studio, if compatibility with Windows XP is needed then the XP toolset must be selected: such as "v110_xp" instead of "v110". Maybe the compatibility problem is caused by the fact that DMD doesn't officially support Windows XP anymore.

Could you build DlangIDE using win32coff as Output, for me to test?

Can you try to build it yourself from sources on XP?

Unfortunately the win32coff build fails to run, with the same error message.

I cannot build it due to the following error message:

Try git pull --tags --recurse-submodules origin master

Containers should now be removed from from project. Now they are a part of phobos. - std.experimental.containers

I've submitted change for dlangide visuald project file.
Now it should build ok.

As well you can try to build with dub.

DlangIDE v0.8.2 fails to build with exactly the same error message: missing "backwards.d" file. Same with current dlangide-master.

Running DUB fails with a SSL connect error while "Fetching dcd 0.9.1".

I'll run a virus scan, and if my system is clean then I'll stop trying to make things work, for the reason that current D apps are incompatible with Windows XP.
