I'm a new user and I need help! I have an FT-897 that is my dedicated digital station. It is running on an older Dell Optiplex desktop. The OS is XP Prefessional with service pack 3. It is not hooked up to my wireless home network due to security issues with the XP OS. I work various digital modes on it through a SignaLink USB. I want to install WSJT-X on this system. I tried downloading it onto a flash drive with my Windows 10 machine but all of the needed components won't load onto the flash drive. any suggestions??

V2.2.0 from June 2020 was the first release to drop support for XP.

The OS is XP Prefessional with service pack 3.Tom, Older versions here https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/ I guess you'll have to check, maybe some modes have changed but older like WSPR will still work, perhaps not quite so well. 73 Alan G4ZFQ

I would not be at all surprised if needed components are not available in that ancient OS. I would load W10 or at least W7 (assuming it can be done) on it and Away you go. If not then perhaps make it into a Linux system.

Hi Tom,
My first Hamradio PC runs also only Win XP prof Sp3. And I have WSJT-x 2.1.0 running perfect. For me no need to have a later version ! I use WSJT-x only for KW. My second Hamradio PC is a raspberry with buster OS. Here I run the latest WSJT-X 2.5.0. This works also OK, in my case only for SAT and MS. Hope I could give you a helping hand, 73, Karl OE3JAG Am 23.09.2021 um 00:11 schrieb Tom Ryan via groups.io:
