Long War on XP?

Has anyone successfully gotten Long War to work running under Windows XP?

 

 

Using the DLL method described here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2964408

 

Many folks (myself included) have been able to get both Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within to run successfully and problem-free on Windows XP, and have played through entire campaigns that way without any issues.

 

However, once the Long War mod is added, the launcher will then (when launching EW), pause for a long time, then crash out to an error message shown in the attached JPG. (It's possible the mod isn't really even installing correctly, though it does seem to be, and completes its edit of the exe.)

 

Some in other forums have claimed to have gotten LW working under XP, but not provided any details.

 

 

Does anyone know if that's actually possible, or definitively not possible, or better yet, has anyone done it themselves and can provide the details or any workarounds...?

(For example, does LW definitely require .NET 4.5, or is XP's limit of .NET 4.0 okay?)

 

 

Or is this error perhaps totally unrelated?

 

Thanks in advance for any solid knowledge on this specific topic!

 

 

(People who just want to discuss Windows XP vs. other OSes, please start a separate thread.)
