H Jon, There should be at maximum 5 versions of every platform, which makes it 10 for Windows (32/64 bit). We do build and test Windows 7,8.1,10 and recently also 11 but we only upload Windows 10, which should work on all Windows platforms supported.
The problems with Windows blocking the installation (and Apple blocking the installation on macOS) is something that should be given high priority once ooRexx 5 is officially released IMO. On the ToDo list. Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse, ooRexx oor...@jonases.se > On 22.
