    It is sadly a binary one but lucky for me I don't have to do all the hard work :)

    MPC-BE.1.6.10.85 Nightly Build 10.11.2023 for XP

    You have to change video output to Enhanced Video Renderer (Options > Video > Video Renderer) to play videos or else you'll get an error

    To patch snipping tool I need to install win 7 and that is something I don't have time for sorry. I did try without install but did not work

    Hi Maroc,
    Thanks for these XP ports, much appreciated.
    Which program you use to find all dll dependencies?

    Not an expert of this specific matter but I'm almost sure there is something related to some kernel policies. (like WMC or the server stuff).

    I don't remember exactly in which version of windows but I remember that SKUwitching from client to server, the snipping tool just stop working, no errors, nothing. It just doesn't start

    [/QUOTE]Weird thing with this one. When I double click on a pdf from explorer it opens address book. Works fine with the other version.[/QUOTE]

    The portable version does not alter nor write to the Windows registry so my patched version is not the source of your problem

    1. Backup your previous instalation folder
    2. Rename SumatraPDF-3.5.2-32.exe To SumatraPDF.exe (the name must be the same as the one in your installation folder)
    3. Copy and overwrite everything from "Sumatra PDF 3.5.2" folder to your previous instalation folder

    Use overlay mixer output or vmr7, load a playlist, then jump back and forth on the playlist, the player will crash.
    Often just closing the player was enough, to trigger the bug.

    I renamed my existing folder in Program Files to SumatraPDF old. I copied the new folder and renamed the exe to SumatraPDF.exe to keep associations and links undisturbed. I double click on a pdf file, address book pops up. Renamed the new folder SumatraPDF New, renamed the old to SumatraPDF. Double click on the same pdf, it opens it. Weird.
