    macOS, can I install this 2 year old program?

    No, the architecture is no longer supported in this version of macOS

      “no because the dev hasn’t paid us to certify it as safe so you’ll have to jump through 37 hoops in order to allow you to right click, hold options, and click open. THEN we’ll give you an option to install it”

          Not so much a librewolf reference as much as a “any app you download from the Internet” reference lol

          I’ll have to try installing librewolf when I’m feeling frisky though

      I’m really sorry to do this, but 25 years ago was 2001.

      Now that the painful part is out of the way, 32-bit software from 2001 should work in Windows 11.

        Oh, it should work and it will if you put all the files in the right places yourself by say installing it on wine and copying the changes to the wine system directories over, but starting in Windows 11 running the installer gets a deliberate “this program isn’t meant for this version of Windows” error.

        Even XP software is in part not working correctly on current gen systems. Support since Win7 didn’t get better.

    I wanted to do the cool neofetch thing all the femboys in thigh highs are doing. Shits already installed on mint. My boring ass win98 clone is doing the femboy thing no questions asked.

      In the early 2000s there was this website called dll-files.com or something like that, and every time that error popped up (which happened a lot in the 90s and 2000s), you’d go to that website, download the missing file, and 99% of the time it would fix the problem. These days I’d advise against obtaining random DLL files from the internet but back then it was like magic.

        Or you’d get lucky and some other program you installed happens to have the right dependencies. Just copy them to the application install dir or to C:\windows\win32\ and off you go.
