So I took your advise and upgraded. I ditched my old XP VM and set up a new one. I was torn between Win 7 and Win 10, but decided on the latter, as I had an unused license and also read that Win 10 is optimized for better performance on low-end hardware. I am giving my VM only 1 GB of RAM, mind you ...

Thanks for the info about the free VM. Eventually I'll upgrade to Win 7 or Win 10 for my VM.

Keep up the good work!

Indeed it does. Did you guys compile the binaries yourself? SInce the source is from 2004, just wondering why a new binary was introduced in 1.x.

Here's what I got: SABnzbd 1.2.3: par2.exe: 471 KB (482,816 bytes) par2-classic.exe: 224 KB (229,376 bytes) x64\par2.exe: 576 KB (589,824 bytes) SABnzbd 0.7.20: par2.exe: 414 KB (423,936 bytes) par2-classic.exe: 224 KB (229,376 bytes) x64\par2.exe: 503 KB (525,072 bytes) Again, thank you very much f...

It seems 2 years ago we did some update: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/commit/1d8a912acb711acbbc8429dc8e07041dbd7e82bc But I helped other people using Winxp and it seems to work fine for them. Are you sure you're not trying to run the x64 version? 100% certain. I am using the one not in the &q...

The classic version is indeed working. I did originally notice that when I first ran into this issue many (many) months back. In fact, there is a sabnzbd switch that forces it to use the classic version -- it's called "Enable MultiCore Par2" -- one has to disable it, and then it's using th...

Correct. The old par2.exe displays the available command line options instead. This has been going on in every version since 1.0. I just didn't get around to reporting it yet as I had a workaround in place (basically copying the old 0.7.x version over the newer versions). Again, this might be very X...

This problem has been plaguing me (I believe) ever since sabnzbd went 1.0. I am still running Win XP (32 bit) in a Virtual Machine. At some point (after upgrading), the par2.exe didn't work anymore and gave me an access denied error message. Only reverting to the previous par2.exe works (I am taking...

I can confirm the same issue after upgrading from 1.2.2. to 1.2.3. Deleting the CRYPT32.DLL fixed the issue for me.

I am running Win XP in a VirtualBox that I only use for this purpose (don't judge the old OS please).
