Re: [Gnuplot-info] gnuplot/wgnuplot launch failure on Windows Server 2008

[Tait <gnu...@t4...>]

Hi Christian,

The RaiseFailFastException function is not supported on Windows
Server 2008. Server 2008 R2 is the minimum supported version
(see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd941688(v=vs.85).aspx),
and thus it appears 2008R2 (on the server side, and 7 on the
desktop side) is also the minimum supported version for gnuplot.
You can probably get by on 2008 with an older version of
gnuplot, from back when XP was supported. I don't know off the
top of my head what version that would correspond to.
