Re: Bug: nmap doesn't run on Windows XP anymore

[Vlatko Kosturjak <kost () linux hr>]

Daniel,

Nmap download page should be updated then:
https://nmap.org/download.html

Because it says:
Nmap runs on all versions of Windows since NT, including 2K, XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Server 2003/2008. Please read 
the Windows section of the Install Guide for limitations and installation instructions for the Windows version of Nmap. 
In particular, read about the special Windows 2000 (Win2K) dependencies if you use that platform. You can choose from a 
self-installer (includes dependencies and also the Zenmap GUI) or the much smaller command-line zip file version.

Hope it helps,
