Description dabaohe 2014-04-04 05:18:52 UTC 
In NetBeans 8.0, profileinterface.dll is in NetBeans\profiler\lib\deployed\jdk16\windows\. My JVM is JDK 1.7
when using Dependency Walker(http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to look at the dependency of profileinterface.dll, I find that it rely on msvcrt.dll, but the function "_except_handler4_common" and another two function but not existing in msvcrt.dll(in Windows XP). these function has existed in msvcrt.dll on VISTA or upper windows version.

  so, I guess netbeans windows version is build on vista or window7/8. 

  now I return to Netbeans 7.4 and it is work now. but NetBeans 8.0 can't work in profiler on windows XP.

when profiler do calibration, it will fail. try the command on console, find the dll file dependency does not match.
Comment 2 Tomas Hurka 2014-04-04 09:03:13 UTC 
You are right. However I am not sure if we are able to fix it when Windows XP is almost dead and should not be used anymore.
Comment 3 dabaohe 2014-04-08 01:42:50 UTC 
Emm, can you put this bug in Release notes? Then other man will not try to use profiler on Windows XP.
whatever, thank you for reply.

Hi, just run into this issue, cannot even start profiling on XP :-(

I also think that it should be documented somewhere, as NB is not really (fully) XP-compatible without profiling, while XP is on the recommended configuration even for 8.0 (https://netbeans.org/community/releases/80/relnotes.html), so there could be some confusion.

Also wondering whether simply putting a newer msvcrt.dll into the directory could perhaps solve the problem? (but there are maybe licensing issues too)

The same problem on my Windows XP. Why msvcr100.dll could not be used instead of msvcrt.dll? msvcr100.dll contains "_except_handler4_common" function. Also, msvcr100.dll included in JDK8/JRE8.

Tried Windows 10 per-release - and understood, that I must back to Windows XP.... Windows 10 graphics are awful, and so on.. So it would be very nice to keep support for Windows XP - please :)
