opus-tools 0.2 (Opus 1.3)

Description: The latest version of opus-tools no longer works on Windows XP so I acquired the source code and built it with XP support by right-clicking the Visual Studio projects and choosing to use an XP-compatible compiler.
Build Date: April 2, 2019
Tested on: Windows XP (32 and 64-bit), Windows 7 (64-bit)
Known Limitations: None
Download link: opustools-0.2(opus-1.3)_winxp.7z
PGP Signature: opustools-0.2(opus-1.3)_winxp.7z.sig


OpenSSL 1.1.1j

Description: The OpenSSL application and libraries compiled with -D_WIN32_WINNT=[0x0501/0x0502] so it will work on Windows XP. Without this option, bcrypt.dll and a lot of other DLL's not found on Windows XP would be required.
Build Date: March 21, 2021
Known Limitations: Some tests failed on the 32-bit builds. Details are in "test_results.txt"
Extra notes: ZLIB_WINAPI was disabled to fix a linker issue

Hardware


Epson ET-2750

Description: The 32-bit Windows 7 drivers and scanner utility from Epson work on Windows XP.
Instructions:
Go to Epson's driver page for the ET-2750. For Operating System, choose "Windows 7 (32-bit)". Skip the section "Recommended For You" since this doesn't work on XP. Instead, expand the "Drivers" section and download "Printer Driver v[x.xx]" and "Scanner Driver and Epson Scan 2 Utility v[x.x.x.x]". Run them both and the installation will proceed normally.
