Running Pinto! on unsupported operating systems - PintoIM/Pinto GitHub Wiki
Pinto! currently uses version 4.0 of .NET Framework
This means that Pinto! runs on most operating systems (Windows XP+) (and on most unix platforms with the help of Wine)
[!WARNING] These versions of Windows have reached their end of life a long time ago, most minor issues related to them won't be resolved
Windows 7
To run Pinto! on Windows 7, make sure you have the latest .NET Framework installed
Then install update KB3140245 to add full SSL/TLS support (Pinto! can still work without it, but web-related functions will not work correctly) We currently are hosting the update for both x86 and x64 on our repository
After installing the update, import the registry script that enables the latest SSL/TLS to work with WinHTTP
[!WARNING] THE SCRIPT IS PROVIDED AS IS, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED
After installing the update and importing the registry script, open "Internet Options" or inetcpl.cpl in the "Run" box, go to "Advanced", scroll down till you see "Use TLS", make sure to check all "Use TLS" options, it is recommended that you un-check all "Use SSL" options, as SSL is quite outdated and unsecure and might also be used instead of TLS
Windows Vista/XP
To run Pinto! on Windows Vista or XP, make sure you have the latest .NET Framework:
[!IMPORTANT] Windows XP needs update KB2468871 installed as well, we currently host the x86 version of the update
Most web-related functions won't work on these versions of Windows, unless you use a proxy, ProxHTTPSProxy is a good one and has been confirmed to work, more information on setup can be found here
