minus-squaredustojnikhummer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·3 年前No you can’t because the dependency doesn’t exit anymore.

minus-squaredustojnikhummer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down9·3 年前Yes because that is more user friendly than running an executable through a built in compatibility layer… suure
minus-squareReakDuck@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up8·3 年前Who tf wants usability when shit just has a solution no matter what. Additionally its an old program that a normal person wouldn’t even try. On windows shit just doesn’t work and the solutions are most of the time not even existing.
minus-squareriskable@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 年前If you’re trying to get ancient software to work I think “user friendliness” is the least of your concerns. Especially compared to the alternative (Windows) where the answer is just, “No: That’s not going to work no matter what you do.”
