Currently, XP has a two third market share, so for a user-oriented project XP should be the number one target. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_shar ... ng_systems But, coming from a Java background, I don't understand the problem. Supporting an OS should be the concern of the VM, not of the application.

Well, it's frivolous to run XP with Administrator rights, and no firm with a responsible IT management lets users have admin rights, so at least in enterprises the scenario is the norm.

For security reasons I use XP with a non-Admin user and do runas Administrator for installations and admin. When I tried to install Paint.NET.3.5.1 using runas Administrator, the installer unpacked its files to a temp folder, deleted them again and then exited without any message. These seem to be the same symptoms as in http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32643. Only when I logged into the computer with an Administrator account (not runas) the install worked. So there seems to be a bug in the installer ... Thanks, Juergen
