HI !
Trying to install DisplayCAL via zeroinstall on Windows XP SP3. Uninstalled antivirus. Tried on multiple computers with the same operating system. When zeroinstall starts with the download from ” http://sourceforge.net/projects/dispcalgui/files/3dparty/7z_9.20_win32.7z ” i get pop-up window saying: ” Failed to download http://sourceforge.net/projects/dispcalgui/files/3dparty/7z_9.20_win32.7z
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occured on a send. Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ”
I am trying to install displaycal on many machines with WINDOWS XP SP3 and i always get the same result. No problems with zero install on Windows 7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Pentium 4, 2GB RAM, Windows XP SP3
Hi,
I would strongly recommend ditching XP, it is not supported by Microsoft anymore since over four years, and I would consider it a high risk OS since it doesn’t receive any more updates. It may be OK to use when not connected to the internet or any other form of public network.
It lacks recent SSL root certificates, which is why your connection (or any secure connection) fails.
If you absolutely must use DisplayCAL on a XP machine, use the standalone version, but note that you’ll not be able to receive automatic updates (for the reason stated above, a secure connection is required).
Thank you for your swift reply !
I somehow suspected XP lacking support might be the cause for my problem, but could not confirm that. I will use standalone version and/or update to higher version of OS as you suggested.
Also, thank you for a splendid peace of free software. I made a contribution.
