UCyborg Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) I got 64-bit Ungoogled Chromium 118.0.5993.88 running on Windows 8.1 (without sandbox, could be dangerous, --no-sandbox) with some patching and DWrite.dll from my daily driver Win10 20H2. This DWrite.dll requires making a hard link (or copy) of Win8.1's api-ms-win-core-localization-obsolete-l1-2-0.dll named as api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-2.dll in Windows\System32 folder to work without modifications. Installer also works if you use Application Verifier to fake Windows version as Windows 10. setup.exe must be set to get Win10 version info, you can add it without actually having to point the Verifier at real setup.exe, which in this case gets extracted when the installer is run. There's a thread somewhere I'm too lazy to find ATM that describes how to use Application Verifier to install Office 2010 on XP x64, for this it's similar, except the version info you input and that you can get matching version of Application Verifier from Windows 8.1 SDK, which is still available for download.

But you wrote about my solution "Dixel's suggestion about "api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-0.dll" is redundant", So what changed? https://msfn.org/board/topic/184454-last-version-of-software-for-windows-81/?do=findComment&comment=1254742 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi ; are you just referring to the "zipped" distributions: https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/download/v119/supermium_119_32.zip https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/download/v119/supermium_119_64.zip or is it you are employing some kind of portable launcher with these ? AFAIAA, even the "zipped" version would write its profile (aka "User Data") in %LOCALAPPDATA%, is this not the case? FTR, I'm on Vista SP2 32-bit and would like to test the freshly implemented Vista x86 support, but am not really comfortable with a "proper" installation ... Cheers.

When I move the allegedly portable folder with Supermium to another PC, it resets everything, don't forget to add the problem with its files it needs in the system folder. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
