... This means they're targeting Win7 as minimum, now, either in their source code or the compiler they use is...

In Vista, K32EnumProcessModules function is found inside psapi.dll, but in 7+ it was moved to kernel32.dll: see below:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/windows-sdk-v7-0v7-0a-incompatibility-workaround/

If the actual source code is still compatible with NT6.0, then recompiling with defining

_WIN32_WINNT=0x600 or PSAPI_VERSION=1

will produce a binary launching under Vista SP2 fine...

No, you're too late, it doesn't work under win 7 either. The old version of Audacity 3.1.3 is the last for Windows 7 (8.1?).

And 3.1.3 throws an error of some dll not being able to load, so the support was removed even earlier ! But you can press ignore and it starts.

I don't know how good it will work without that dll not loaded !

Some folks are just too lazy to visit the official website before their postings.

windows vista is definitely in a better position with as much old software is being found now (even stuff I did not know existed)

then a whole decade later the extended kernal exists as predicted

There wasn't a need to reply to an almost 6-year-old post just to say that. Many people already know the existence of Extended Kernel.

Has anyone tried this app on Windows Vista? Vista holds the needed framework:

https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/

Does ClipStudio paint happen to work by chance? It would be nice if I could get that working on Vista along with the M10K 2018 driver. Vista in general loves to run a lot of Windows 7+ software and drivers.

What if mod Installer.cmd to bring back support for Vista?

Windows Vista Notice:

VC++ 2022 version 14.32.31332.0 = VisualCppRedist_AIO v0.61.0 is the last version compatible with Windows Vista

... And he's actually right; the last standalone file "VC_redist.x86.exe" provided by MS that will install out-of-the-box on Vista SP2 32-bit is of version 14.31.30919.0:

https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/8c1c2dbb-0856-4dc3-b863-b16c637bc245/E55681B9E07A58F7143E5AB5941F45DE0B485E0C9933B0CB6B702D3921F48527/VC_redist.x86.exe

Subsequent versions 14.31.31005.0, 14.31.31103.0, 14.32.31302.0, 14.32.31326.0 and 14.32.31332.0 had their installers blocked from launching under Vista SP2, but their "payload"/content (various DLLs) continued to remain Vista-compatible ; next version 14.34.31823.3 had several of its DLLs contain Win7+ function calls :angry: :( ... 

So, the last of abbodi1406's vcredist AIO custom pack with full/proper Vista SP2 support is v0.6.1 (2022-06-21):

https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases/download/v0.61.0/VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64_61.zip

What point would there be in doing so :o? Its VS2022 DLLs are incompatible with Vista and, if force-installed, would fully break all apps requiring the VS2015-2022 runtime :( ...
