Supreme Commander

September 19, 2007

I'm trying to get this game (Supreme Commander) working in Windows

2000 Professional SP4. As you may know, it only supports Windows XP

SP2. There is no way I would ever put Windows XP on this computer, and

SP2 is even worse than that. Is there any way I can get the functions

it requires from XP into 2000 to get this game to work? I heard a

similar thing has been done with Halo 2, getting it to work on XP

instead of just Vista.

The first error I have so far to attempt to overcome is:

SupremeCommander.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The proceure entry point getaddrinfo could not be located in the

dynamic link library WS2_32.dll.

I heard this could be fixed by installing the unsupported IPV6 for

Windows 2000 from Microsoft, but the installer for it will not install

it on anything besides SP1, and I have SP4. My Windows 2000 CD doesn't

even install SP1; it starts at SP2.

Re: Supreme Commander

Scratch that. I seem to have figured it out, although I haven't tested

it completely (I got into the game, but I'm waiting for a dual core

processor before I really play it).

And I'll mirror that download on my own site:

Solution will not work with patches beyond 1.0.3223.
