Can anyone confirm if the latest version of Foxit Reader still supports XP? It is not listed in the system requirements (only Vista, Win7, 8) so I'm trying to confirm whether to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1. Thanks.

Current version may not work stable for XP, and we have reported it to QA team for further analysis.Last edited by richell_huang; 06-05-2015, 12:13 PM. -
Sorry to hear that. Currently release 7.1 still works for XP, you may want to have a try, thank you.Comment

Windows XP - maybe. Unfortunately 7.1.x binaries are compiled with enabled SSE2 optimizations and there is no warning given neither on main site nor during installation (upgrade), so executable crashes just on execution, hence this pdf reader, sadly, is no longer usable... (CPU is Athlon XP - so SSE only)
If devs are interested, by any chance:
Code:CRASHLOG caused an Illegal Instruction (0xc000001d) in module FoxitReader.exe at 001b:01bbff4e. Error occurred at 4/12/2015 16:30:32.

Dear Wilk,
As you may know, windows Xp is old system that MS do not maintain the version any more, so we will not fix the bugs which just happens on WinXp, thank you for your understanding. Maybe you can try to uninstall Foxit Cloud from Control panel to see if it helps on your side.

To summarize: You should remove incorrect information that version 7.1.0 supports WinXP (7.1.3 is Vista+) because it is not true - it does not support CPUs that XP normally supports.Comment
