Windows XP issues and workarounds

#41

I used the archived copy of the fresh installation of Windows XP with all updates installed. Archived as a Virtual Machine, that is.

Is it possible that you have some conflicting software installed?

There was only SP3, Blender, VLC, and my Canon printer drivers installed at the time, and I only installed SP3 because I originally thought the lack of it was stopping the Axoloti Patcher installer from running. But that was before I asked and Mark pointed out it needs to be installed in another working environment first.

I don't think I did anything wrong to the installation, although I might have done and not realised it. It's not impossible considering the amount of messing around I've had to do with OS installations lately.

Worth it in the end though, looking forward to finally playing with it again this afternoon :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Just a heads-up to confirm that indeed, using a username without spaces won't change anything. Mark already pointed this out, but I just had to reinstall on another hard drive cause the other failed - so I though I might as well try it anyway. So this time I chose a username without spaces, and everything went exactly as before, therefore I still had to set-up the AXOLOTI_HOME variable manually again.

The good news of course is that I know it can be repeated and work perfectly if something screws-up again if I decide to stay with this system.
