This is a wonderful project. I want to see it succeed. So far the extensions are for Kernel32.dll and Ntdll.dll, right? I wonder if the same principles can be applied in extending the functionality of other system DLLs. For example, the Win7 version of Schannel supports quite a bit more ciphers, which will become more and more important down the road (some servers already reject any TLS ciphers that are SHA1). I don't know if the required functionality is in Schannel itself, or one of the DLLs it uses.

Good to know, however on my PC I've noticed that even mid-2019 or earlier updates to .NET framework 4.6.x on Vista cause VS2010 and a couple of other programs to start upon startup. So at this point I'm not updating .NET 4.6.2.

As far as I can see, the OS updates install on Vista, but .NET updates fail to install due to missing ESU license.

This thread is a gold mine for people who still cherish their old Vista installations. I registered just to post an update: I accidentally discovered that Foxit PhantomPDF no longer works on Vista as of Version 9.7 - the common "TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive not found in Kernel32.dll" error. Version 9.6 still works perfectly.
