Couldn't install on Athlon XP 2500

Couldn't install latest XDK on machine with Athlon XP 2500, Win 7, 1.5 Gb RAM,  error "Unknown software exception 0xc000001d"
Does it means that Intel XDK support processors only with SSE2/SSE3?
Where I can found versions (maybe older) which support my CPU?
Thanks for answers in advance.

The XDK runs on top of node-webkit (https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit). It is not clear to me if SSE is a requirement, I'll ask engineering if they know how it is compiled, but I believe your suspicion is correct. Most modern compilers are designed to default to generating code for SSE2 and above (this is part of the minimum requirement for both Mac OS X and Windows 8 systems).

Prior versions of the XDK would also have been compiled using the same technique (the XDK was only released last September), so older versions won't make a difference if a requirement for SSE2 is part of the equation.

I received confirmation from engineering that the node-webkit backend for the XDK does get compiled with SSE2. It uses the Chromium project, which uses this compilation level.
