Hello,
I would like to make some new programs to work on windows xp 64/32
Example: firefox, chrome, skype
So my question is... Can i make a program that requires windows 7 or higher run on windows xp? By packaging all needed dlls from my windows 7 with the virtualized app in correct folders (ie: system32, syswow64, winsxs)
Can application virtualization technology & thinapp achieve that?
I've tried but it doesn't seem to work once i package any dlls (like ntdll, kernel32, shell32) with the app, after building it wont run! Not even in windows7!
Many organizations still & will keep relying on xp
Governments, health care, even large portion of us military still uses xp
& why? For it's rigourously tested stability, effeciency & minimal footprint
& these organizations can't afford redeploying their infrastructure to another os...
It is not just a financial problem but there are irreplaceable hardware/software drivers... Gpu intensive, that you can't install/use in virtual machines
So while on these systems we would like to have access to simple things, like researching online... & with many websites using TLS 1.3 & other things, latest xp compatible browsers (firefox 52, chrome 48) don't support
You can't access these websites. Having chat with a colleague on something like skype... Etc
This is just an example but 90% of usage will be offline, we would like to use some tools that unfortunately not supported on xp...
I know a lot of people & i have many friends with the same interests...
If Thinapp can do that, then not only me & my friends, but millions & millions of people will be relying on it!
