I'm working on making a portable version of Hedgewars for PortableApps.com, and to test that everything is cleaned up properly, I typically run Hedgewars on a VM. I was able to run 0.9.14 in an XP VM, but not with 0.9.15. I am unable to get it to run, and I don't get any meaningful error messages. Looking at the process manager, hedgewars.exe starts as does hwengine.exe, but then hedgewars.exe closes and hwengine.exe does not.

The portable launcher works fine on Win7, so I'm not entirely sure whether it is a VM issue or an XP issue (or a combination of the two). Is there a known issue with XP, or with certain graphics cards? I know that 0.9.13 required that I download files for it to work in my VM, but I don't know whether those files still apply.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

EDIT: It turns out that the problem was in the fact that I was running in with most of the services turned off (msconfig->Diagnostic Startup) so I could easily detect changes. Does anyone know what services Hedgewars requires so I can reduce the processes to a bare minimum?

Thanks,

Andy
