Thanks for the investigation and references !

I close it as WONTFIX (IMO, INVALID also matches).

Right, so I would mark this as a WONTFIX, and keep it here as a reference in case someone complains again (this is implicit :D).

The dependency on SSE2 seems to be a common problem with applications built with Visual Studio 2012, just because this option is enabled by default. You need to explicitly change the target, if you like to support older CPUs.

I noticed the same with Password Safe v 3.30. They said: "So, it turns out that the problem is not with XP, but with the old CPU not supporting instruction sets that VS2012 decided to enable by default."

Did you build wget yourself, or did you download its binary from somewhere? If you downloaded a precompiled binary, can you tell which site did you download it from?

Hi,

Could you be more specific, please? Some detail about the mechanics of the crash would be helpful.

I don't think SSE2 is relevant here. AFAIK wget does not use any form of SIMD processing, and we've seen it work in old CPUs.
