Hmm, sorry I can't test it as I'm on a 64bit laptop. I think there are folks that'll also help debug. Wonder if it's an XP issue, do you think 32 bit might run on Win7?
I find the same problem(AlethZero.exe is not a valid Win32 application) with cpp-ethereum-vs2013-20140304125855-0.3.11-80dae0.7z on Win xp 32-bit. While it runs well on WIn7 32b-it.
Microsoft dropped support for XP with Visual Studio 2012, although they later added it back again it's not enabled by default. I'll see if it's possible to use the XP compatible toolset for cpp-ethereum.
@Technologov? Fixing XP support in VS builds will probably have to wait for now. I suspect the MinGW builds for windows will already work ok though if you are able to compile your own builds (we might be able to publish these somewhere).
@programmerTim? After the installation of Poc3 windows, I had to install libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libgmp-10.dll. Those files are now copied in the system32 dir. The file installed to run poc3 is Ethereum.exe. I tried to remove firewall but same thing, the "DOS" windows open but it closes instantly after half a second. Something's happening but not much !! Thanks
Look, Windows XP has between 100 million and 300 million users (depends on statistics source), so yeah, IMO it is important to fix. (even if going to older VS)
@programmerTim For more info, on that instant pop window, I can read: "qwindowslcontext.cpp:1110: get procadress: unable to resolve 'glbindframebuffers OES'....ARB' ... EXT... and so on Thanks

Is there a dev mailing list or digest I can join? Many thanks!
