I found an article about a program that can be used on Windows 7 to enable it to work with certain modern software.

Windows 7 gains support for modern apps, but not the way you'd expect

https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-7-gains-support-for-modern-apps/

My only real problem with 7 is the lack of a Mastodon client. I downloaded KexSetup_Release_1_1_3_2038.exe and tried it with TweeseCake, FastSM, and TWBlue. The first two must have started, because it said the program stopped working and showed me a close button. TWBlue didn't work at all. I then tried it with the latest version of Firefox, and it specifically said that 116 and later requires a newer version of Windows, so it apparently didn't even see the apis that this program is supposed to use. Can anyone help me? Am I doing something wrong? I enabled it in properties for each program as instructed. Is there something similar to this that works with better success?

Those botched "#XPSP4" & "#Windows7SP2" ISOs are janky at best and one's better off investing time and care to fiddle with #Wine (like @fuchsiii does!) or make an airgapped VM and building a slipstream installer disc with #nLite.

  • Needless to say I'd rather do the former than latter...
