I know that Windows XP is out of support for a long time now, but we still have customers using machines that they cannot update to a more recent OS.
We now want to write a new application and while there's always the option to go with a statically compiled C++ application, I would like to use C#.
I think that it may be possible to use an older version of Mono together with mkbundle to create such a self-contained application.
I cannot find real information on the subject, namely the last supported version of mono on Windows XP SP2. According to this thread: https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/1723, Mono 4.0.0 should work, but I also found information that says it's 3.2.3 (https://opensourcepack.blogspot.de/p/xp-last-resort_12.html).
Before we start extensive testing, I would like to know if anybody had a similar situation and has another approach or could find real (official) information on the subject?
Edit: We could use the old .NET framework 4.0 which works on XP. But the machines are sometimes very limited in terms of disk space and we cannot always install the .NET framework. This is why I explore other options now.
Thanks, Knurd
