When Microsoft announced the end of support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014, we committed to continuing technical support for SocketTools on the platform. Our intention was to provide developers sufficient time to complete the migration to a supported platform. We are now ending all technical support for Windows XP and Windows Vista.
This will not prevent existing applications from running on Windows XP or any of the other systems listed above; however we will not be able to assist with installation, redistribution, or other technical problems.
