I've tried Googling and looking through this thread quickly to find the info I'm seeking, but too many pages ... Can anyone help with this:
Has anyone been able to install a Maxcoin Windows wallet on XP, or 64-bit Windows 7?
I've tried many times, since Maxcoin first launched, but failed. I have installed the wallets for six other crypto-coins with absolutely no problems.
After extracting Maxcoin downloaded Windows files on XP, I'm told that an entry file and a .dll are missing. After Googling, I found out that the missing files are only designed to run on Windows Vista, or 7.
When I try to open Maxcoin downloaded files in 64-bit Windows 7, the unzip programs cannot open them. When I scan with Avast anti-virus, it tells me there is a serious malware threat in the wallet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
AFAIK, the client is not supported on XP, but it should run ok on windows 7. The antivirus warnings are false positives due to some code that uses the IRC method for initial seeding, which is a common method of controlling botnets. This should be resolved as soon as a DNS seeding node has been established.
