Todd, The last version of Nmap that works on Windows XP is 7.12. The decision to drop XP support was not made lightly. In the end, we had to consider: * Lack of NDIS 6 support, meaning that Windows XP users can't use the new Npcap packet capture library with its increased speed and new features. * Newer socket management features like Poll and IOCP that make NSE and version detection much faster on newer Windows versions. * Microsoft support for WIndows XP ending April 2014. * Cost of testing and maintaining a code base across so many Windows API versions. Your options, then, are to run Nmap 7.12, build Nmap yourself for Windows XP, or use a supported OS. We will try to make it more clear during installation that Windows XP is not supported.

Dear NMap Community, I installed https://nmap.org/dist/nmap-7.50-setup.exe on a Windows XP Pro SP3 machine. During the install, I got told that NDIS6 was not supported. I did not care as the machine was using NDIS5 drivers. The install completed normally. When I fired it up and ran nmap -p [port] --open -PN -sV -oG ssh_hosts [ip or network] (yes I made the substitutions in the brackets.) I got back: "%! is not a valid Win32 application" Any words of wisdom? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
