This has been closed, leaving me no choice,
but to open a new ticket, to introduce my findings...
(Posted to old thread, but it is closed,
and this will probably be discarded...)
This has been closed, so I am opening a new one, same title...
The issue is SSE2-CPU's, VERSES SSE3-Coding, LOL !
AMD Athlon 3200+ here, and pre SSE3 Pentium-3,
both function just fine with V2.8.8,
and fail to open GUI with V3.00, and above,
INCLUDING the "Old" version (FTP) too...
Please provide logs of VLC running, using cmd-line or better MS DebugView to know why the Qt GUI does not open.

Seeing the info from #20033 (closed), there is nothing weird in the dependency walker, but probably a flag that requires SSE3, in the libqt*. But where?
And to help you position yourself, as to the need for this answer,
XP-Embedded machine are everywhere for pennies, small and fast too,
and the OS is in firmware, so a pointless target for hackers.
They make awsome home theater devices that support wireless HID's,
and with the POS registry entry added, allow online commerce too.
No big deal if this doesn't get fixed I suppose,
but the internet is completely lost as to why
they update their VLC, and get a command promt.
As was I, until I looked into it,
for an extra hour or two online...
If anything goood comes of this,
I would hope it would be this simple:
ADD A NOTIFIER to VLC's setup script,
warning people they will LOOSE their GUI,
if they proceed with their VLC installation.
