VistaLover Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 @FantasyAcquiesce Thanks for your info... BUT... The latest version available on the linked site is 3.0.205.0 and yes, min Windows version compatible is Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit) - no surprise then that the client wouldn't run under XP... The downloaded standalone installer has a digital SHA1 signature of May 20th 2018 ; even worse, when the installer is extracted/installed, the browser has a buildID of 20150421120931 (i.e. April 21st 2015); in this case, New Moon is just a generic UNBRANDED fork name, not to be confused with @roytam1's unbranded builds... The BlackHawk browser build is based on Pale Moon 25 (platform is Gecko 25.3.0), so extremely outdated security/features-wise ; IMHO, that browser deserves an entry inside digital history books, not installed in one's Vista machine today... (OT: I honestly hope you're well - stay safe ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while the country of origin has been declared as the UK, the quality of the English language used points more to a translation machine/web bot, e.g.: 7 hours ago, rryan22 said: Do who needs a Reallusion Software unofficially on Windows 2000, let it know if it needs it! Just to be on the clear, I have nothing personal against payware (coders certainly have to make a living) or people without an adequate command of the English language (which is the default in these forums...). However, unless @rryan22 has personally tested every individual piece of payware software he has mentioned as the last one working on Vista/Win2k, then I'll continue to treat his posts as disguised advertisement attempts... BTW, should any of the claims made be true, why isn't a transparent approach of accessing those older, still payware, software versions offered?

VistaLover Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Just like qbittorrent towards the end of last year, another open-source bit torrent client, Transmission, has progressed past Windows Vista (and XP) support ... Transmission is a well known bit-torrent client, especially popular among Mac users, preffered due to its low memory footprint on the host system; its home site is hosted at: https://transmissionbt.com/ while the open-source code is hosted at GitHub: https://github.com/transmission/transmission While the back-end is cross-platform, the Windows port/front-end builds on the popular Qt Framework (much like the Windows port of qbittorrent); over the last two years, official releases appeared to have remained stagnant at version 2.94 (issued on May 1st 2018), built with Qt FW 5.6.0. Some days ago, new official release v3.00 came to light which, most sadly, has minimum WinOS requirements met by Windows 7; v3.00 has been built using Qt 5.14.2 which, by itself, denies any XP+Vista support; earlier in this very thread it was detailed that the last Qt version with FULL Vista support was 5.6.3 (with some rare app exceptions cited that manage to run under Vista while built on Qt 5.7.x/5.9.x); it's still possible, because I haven't bothered to check, that the core Transmission code now intentionally targets Win7+ and thus the breakage is not entirely due to the move to a higher Qt version ... To cut it short, Transmission v2.94 from 2018 is now the EoS'ed version for both Windows XP SP3/Windows Vista SP2: (official links to MSI installers:) transmission-2.94-x86.msi transmission-2.94-x64.msi With the popular (but adware/bloatware/spyware) uTorrent application having abandonned XP+Vista several months ago, the addition of Transmission (along with qbittorrent) to the list of bit-torrent clients that aren't maintained anymore under Vista limits extremely the choice of such a client under that OS (with, off-the-top-of-my-head, the closed-source Tixati being one of the last available choices... ) ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 My friend, with all due respect: those die-hards like me who eschew a full-body velostat gimp-suit can keep using the good old free, no-installation-needed (portable), single executable, µTorrent v.2.0.2.19648, which keeps working like clockwork. All others had better move on to 10 release 2004 (or whatever)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc333 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) @dencorso Agreed. Just because the latest release is no longer compatible with XP, doesn't mean that the last release that is won't suddenly stop working (we've seen some rather unscrupulous examples of that elsewhere over the 6 or so years since XP's "official" EoS). My understanding is that, while Bittorrent has added new features to its protocols over the years since it was introduced, the basic architecture is more or less the same, and virtually all clients, new and old, can still connect to it just fine, just without the advanced features of newer versions. Unless I'm missing something? On 5/27/2020 at 12:20 PM, dencorso said: ...full-body velostat gimp-suit... With all the paranoia surrounding the coronavirus lately, this is actually becoming a real life phenomena, something I never thought would happen! (I kid you not, I recently came across a headline (from a reputable source) that stated that some people are *wearing hazmat suits on airplanes* because of the extreme fear of acquiring the virus!) While i won't be stupid and go put myself in a situation where I'd be infected, I'm not going to live in that kind of fear. Same applies to old Windows and software. While I will use newer, safer software when appropriate (online shopping, banking transactions, etc.), I'm not going to stop using XP, Vista or 7 (or any software thence developed) simply because MS isn't releasing patches for them anymore! Enough said. c Edited May 29, 2020 by cc333 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some talk of vague vulnerabilities, AFAIK never known to have ever been exploited since then, which, IMO were just the usual FUD to force people to update to adware-ladden and or telemetry-ladden later versions. The adware could be prevented from installing and/or removed afterwards, but you know most people won't bother or be able to do that. µTorrent v.2.0.2.19648 was the last that was a single executable requiring no installation at all, so IMO is the one with best cost to benefit up to now.

I like to know what I'm using, how it works and why, so I'm glad I figured it out successfully in this case! Anyway, back to the topic at hand (sorta), I use Transmission on Mac all the time, as it is the only BT client I've used (for Mac, anyway) whose UI is sensible and easy to use. i knew it also supported Linux, but until today, I didn't know (or had forgotten) that there was a Windows port that ran on XP/Vista! c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomate Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 On 9/18/2019 at 3:42 AM, Jaguarek62 said: Hi everyone, So today rockstar released a new launcher for their games. Including my favorite GTA V. There's small catch. It no longer supports Vista. I have found a bypass, but I'm not sure for how long this is going to work. You need to uninstall the new launcher. Grab the old one (Vista saves folders history maybe you can find it there in "Installers" folder) and install it. Now you need to delete "PlayGTAV.exe". Copy "GTAVLauncher" to your desktop and name it "PlayGTAV.exe" and put it to your gta v folder. That's it. I have tried it only on steam version so i have no idea if this is going to work on dvd version. Cheers Is that method still working? I had no luck on my GTA 5. I didn't had folder history cause i recently install it, so i download it and i renamed the GTAVLauncher to PlayGTAV.exe and it prompt "Please launch GTA V using PlayGTAV.exe" when i launching it. Maybe i wrongly download the version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinClient5270 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Phew... After over an hour, I have finally checked every single link on the list to make sure everything still worked, and fixed quite a few broken ones. I hadn't done this since around 2017, so hopefully all the links should be working now for a while Edited June 24, 2020 by WinClient5270 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vistapocalypse Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Under DVR/PVR Software, NextPVR no longer has ONG support for Vista, and a legacy download link for version 4.2.5 seems to be needed: https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=59880. (Recent 5.x versions require .NET Core, which was shown not to work on Vista earlier in this thread.) Also, Microsoft’s electronic program guide service ended on April 2, 2020, which greatly reduces the appeal of adding TV Pack 2008 to Vista systems with Windows Media Center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
