Hi Keith, Thank you for your feedback. The SQLite Master Suite source codes are very primitive. In theory, it can be compiled with the earlier compiler and run at all Windows OS. However, we've built the SQLite Master Suite with Visual Studio 2012 and VS2012 has stopped supporting any OS older than XP. We did not know this fact until we purchase the license from Microsoft. In the near future, I will try to make the program available for the older version of Windows. Best Regards, B.

Microsoft takes special care in bug-for-bug compatibility, so win32 programs are pretty much guaranteed to run on any version of the OS that is equal or greater than the WINVER setting on which it was compiled. If it runs on W2K3 then it was compiled with WINVER set to 0x0502 (but perhaps was set to an earlier compatibility in which case it will work back to that corresponding version) and will run on any version of Windows currently available, including ones currently in development (Windows 10/2015 server/client). "Support", you must understand, is usually a marketroid term which translates into English as "make money from". Software is not "supported" on new versions of operating systems because the vendor cannot "make money from" that state of affairs and thus deliberately designs the software so that they can provide "supported" versions that they can "make money from". Some authors and vendors make money from providing value. Others have no choice but to resort to artifice and deceit. I'm sorry to hear that you have more experience dealing with the latter than the former. >-----Original Message----- >From: sqlite-users-boun...@sqlite.org [mailto:sqlite-users- >boun...@sqlite.org] On Behalf Of jonathon >Sent: Wednesday, 29 October, 2014 18:16 >To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org >Subject: Re: [sqlite] New kids on block the SQLite Master Suite. > > > >On 29/10/14 19:46, Billy Huynh wrote: > >> the SQLite Master Suite. >> It mainly designed to handle a very large database file with lightning >fast import and export of data and > >Support for Windows Server 2003, which EOLs on Bastille Day 2015, but no >support for Windows Server 2012? > >If that really is the case, then you just shot yourself in the foot. >No rational Sysadmin is going to install something on a platform that >they will be migrating away from within a year.
