eL_PuSHeR Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hey. Thanks for the heads up. Any changelog? According to MS download page there isn't any WinXP version. Maybe XP support was dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 According to MS download page there isn't any WinXP version. Maybe XP support was dropped. Not surprising. There has been quite a push to drop Windows XP everywhere lately. Thanks for the heads up! I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eL_PuSHeR Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I have it installed on XP via the Microsoft Update website which offered it. Yes. I think it only displays version for the current Operating System (using 7). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 13, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Any changes that you can see? There's this new setting in the screenshot (at least on WinXP), other than that I don't know what they've did: Edited February 13, 2013 by Andavari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Could anyone add the version number to the post title? That option is present under win7 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 14, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2013 The reason I didn't put the version number in the title was because of this, so as to not cause confusion: When I posted it was at v4.2.223.0, then a few hours later Automatic Updates told me there was a v4.2.223.1 but it wouldn't let me install it and stopped offering v4.2.223.1 which I assume maybe isn't XP compatible but I can't confirm that yet since they don't even have a standalone setup .EXE available with the new version yet.

nikki605 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I have MSE installed in a WinXP VM and after this week's updates, the ver is 4.2.223.0 and the Engine ver is 1.1.9103.0 I did not get any further MS update notification of a newer version.

eL_PuSHeR Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Nope. I downloaded the XP and Seven versions and they were okay. I will try the XP version today on a newly formatted XP machine to see if it's better than previous versions, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 24, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2013 File is corrupt? Digital signature reads as valid on my system, although I didn't run the file since I already have that version installed from Microsoft Updates. The hashes for mseinstall.exe (32-bit, English, Windows XP version) is: MD5 = 40260AF3A7B4F412D77A1A5209847BE2 SHA-1 = FC6118CECADA8B5DBB8A1459C85B0420CB755F6A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eL_PuSHeR Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 You can check the file CRC with Total Commander for instance. I bet maybe 7-zip can do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 25, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2013 I bet maybe 7-zip can do the same. It can if you browse to the file via 7-Zip File Manager and then right-click and select Calculate Checksum. But CRC/CRC32 and even MD5 isn't considered secure anymore.

Alan_B Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I knew it did 384 as well as 512, and assumed 512 superior.

Moderators hazelnut Posted February 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2013 In case people didn't read the link I gave earlier which leads to a 24 page thread where everyone has posted about the file being corrupt. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/mse-protect_start/microsoft-security-essentials-corrupted-file-x64/6ff59a5b-9022-41a2-b199-78de71210446 Microsoft Security Essentials (x64 MSE English Corrupt Download) The download for this file ONLY is corrupt from Microsoft. and at the time of me writing this, it is still corrupt. It is supposed to be fixed today. The workaround is to run Windows Update and look for the MSE optional update.

eL_PuSHeR Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Aha, That's why my version isn't corrupted. Because it's not the ENGLISH version. It's the Spanish one. By the way, for those interested in knowing I installed it on a fresh XP install and it is still a memory hog. Uninstalled it, installed AVG 2013 and there was a lot free memory more upon startup. Other than that it performed quite well. EDIT: Could any moderator add the version numbering to the thread's title please... (4.2.223.0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I knew it did 384 as well as 512, and assumed 512 superior. I KNEW THAT! I have no idea what I was thinking.
