One more time, thank you so much Murak, which found out the reasons for many apps failing. The main new is the download chrome partial fix.

What's new:

  • Partial work of downloads on Chrome and Chromium Based (Edge, Brave, etc) browsers. Why is partial? Because x86 has issues with multiprocess. On x64, this is working fine. And on x86, you may face "Download error" at download's end if you standard mode. If you set "--single-process", it iwll work much more stable. Opera has other issue: it's call save dialog, what is not really implemented ;
  • Windows 7's wordpad now open and has some issues: it's require the IFileDialog of Windows Vista, so open/fsave file dialog not working really. And font list selection not working.

  • Variable %LocalAppData% missing after some time now is fixed;
  • LibreOffice 7.6 now almost working. Write and Base can be used;
  • You can try use Vista's Dwrite, however, it's generate a assertion on Chrome 109 when try start download. It's fix Opera 39-50 startup;
  • Added NNN4NT5 by BlackCat to set Windows version. It's allow to install or run program as other windows tests. Helpful for XP x64, by example;
  • Internationalization begins with Portuguese-Brazil (my language).

Know bugs:
