Is this written for 32 or 64 bit, and what's the min requirements (XP, 7, 8)?
I tried this a few years ago and just downloaded the latest version.
After installing:
On XP it mentions "Not a valid win32 app"
On Win7 x64 it mentions the mfc120.dll is not present.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hello,
Sorry for all the inconveniences and thx for trying this application.
These issues with x64 showed when I migrated the application to Visual Studio 2013 and made some mistakes in build configurations.
To try to solve them I made following changes (from version 1.0.94 onwards):
I added to the setup a prerequisite of Visual C++ 2013 Runtime Libraries (x32), although I will probably remove it cause it does not work in Windows XP SP3.
I checked build configuration of main application (DraftDraw project) to Win32
In windows 7, 8 you should execute application as administrator because it access the registry to read base directory
When you download DraftCableX.X.XX.zip, execute setup to install C++ prerequisites.
I apologize for all these problems and for not testing the program in several OS (XP, 7…), but at this moment I am the only contributor and prefer to show my idea to others. Fixing these issues and performing more tests I hope will be done when this project has more hands.
Thx a lot!

Windows XP SP3 -> I checked and it works. Unzip installator and execute ‘DraftCable1.0’. If you run the program and get ‘mfc120.dll’ missing error, go to installation folder (normally ‘C:\Program Files(x86)\CRIndustrial\DraftCable1.0’ and install Visual C++ redistributable ‘vcredist_x86.exe’.
Windows Vista, 7, 8 -> Unzip and install ‘setup’ that will install Visual C++ pre-requisite. If you even get ‘mfc120.dll’ missing error go to installation folder (normally ‘C:\Program Files(x86)\CRIndustrial\DraftCable1.0’ and install Visual C++ redistributable ‘vcredist_x86.exe’, too.
Windows 10 -> Not tested
Regards

Added the setup project to the solution (currently only in GitHub https://github.com/jcampos73/DraftCable). You need a Visual Studio add in to open the included setup project:

Hello I found this info:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/linking-applications-using-visual-studio-2012-to-run-on-windows-xp
I will add Visual C++ 2013 redistributable x86 to the setup.
I have checked in Windows XP SP2 and it does not work but I think it will do in SP3.
Visual Studio 2013 C++ redistributables can be downloaded from here:
