There is a difference between older hardware and older software I'm afraid.
#Transmission torrent windows 7 Patch
That being said, it might be possible to patch Transmission to support Windows XP but you'll have to maintain that patch yourself, it will never be accepted. We also have restrictions on the verions of web browsers we support with the web UI. The above is actually applicable not only to Windows, but to all the other systems we support. This means they don't get any security updates, which is something you most probably need to worry about these days.Īnother reason is that newer Windows versions provide new APIs for functionality we need which is hard / impractical / impossible to implement when targeting older systems. Windows XP and Windows 2003 support was dropped by us since those systems aren't officially supported by Microsoft anymore. Suggestions like that tend to turn in to rules sooner or later.

The only reason to update is trackers "suggesting" it due to exploit concerns on older clients. But i mean, i have Transmission 2.82, and it works just fine. Also, if newer transmission version does things that older Windows versions simply wont allow, or support, then that is a legitimate reason as well, for sure. A shame Transmission gets stuck in Microsoft's business tactics at that point, but the blame for something like that would straight up be with Microsoft. msi has an arbitrary "we wont support OS older then X" just so Microsoft can push people towards newer stuff.

Is there an actual reason it's not possible, or is it something with how the install packages are made, that limits how far back the installer service can be supported, and transmission it self would actually function properly? I mean, it wouldn't come as a shock if some Microsoft tool used to produce the. I mean, small lightweight, transmission seems pretty much made to run on low wattage, older hardware like this. I'm not sure if there is a way to hack in a newer "Windows Installer Service" on a WHS v1, or, if there is, if that would actually make Transmission work after installing it. The install relies on "Windows Installer Service", and require a newer version then available for the OS in question. It wont install Transmission 2.93, and i'm sort of curious as to why.
The age of this OS pretty much disqualifies it from any kind of "serious" use, but for torrents and home use behind a dedicated firewall, it's more then safe enough on it's own. It's a headless server that can't really run anything else then WHS v1, which is based of Windows Server 2003. Perhaps an odd question i know, but i'm sort of looking for an update to my HP DataVault X300, which is a Windows Home Server v1, with a Atom D510, and 2gB RAM.
