Windows 9x support?

As I see your application require DbgHelp.dll
Because it is preinstalled dll on Windows 2000/XP there is no problem with these OS's

Moreover it can be installed on Windows NT using Debugging Tools for Windows from Microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/debug ... llx86.mspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... rsions.asp

However, they cannot be installed on Windows 9x...
So my question is are you planning Windows 9x support for your product or not? 'Cause I still use Win98 at work {sigh} :roll:

Zlatin,

Win9x support is a very low priority item on our todo list. We'd only implement it if there are enough people requesting it. But considering our main audience (developers and Win sys admins) I belive that very few of our users are still using Win9x.

There are other things besides dbgHelp.dll preventing us from running on Win9x. Like the fact that Advanced Installer is a Unicode application. Also, we are using some API calls available only on Win2k and higher systems.
