I lost some old emails from people who wanted to use the Linkage program on Windows XP. This post is my only way of letting anyone know that I recently built the program for XP.
I have not yet tested it. I don’t have a Windows XP system around, since XP is now 12 years old!
For anyone who can’t get the installer to work, because it is not built for XP, download the program and documentation in a zip file from here:

Run the linkage.exe program from any directory and it should work fine.
If this still doesn’t work, I won’t be able to fix it. I set my build tools to create an XP program, but there is nothing more to be done.

Works on decent machine with Windows XP sp3. Crashes on older processors with error 0xC000001D ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION (0x00414c06)”. Is it because of SSE2 instructions?
Yes, it is probably because of SSE2 instructions, or some similar problem. It was very hard to get the program to run on XP because Microsoft no longer supports it and no longer supports tools to develop programs that run on it. I had to use an older compiler to get it to work.
