VxKex, maybe?

Edit: Never mind. In the past, there was Lieversn and win32lie.
Re: Emulation on MS Windows 3.1x ?

I once attached debugger to setup.exe of Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 and modified the values returned by GetVersionEx (actually by whatever was called in ntdll.dll) in memory so it would install on Vista (only 7 was supported officially). Unless the program is weird, it's probably easier to modify the target program in question.

But honestly, unless you really love (re)programming, you don't want to torture yourself with old out-of-support Windows versions.

Nope, still on Vogons.

What on odd thing to post here.

That's what I'm trying to do with CFFExplorer but I guess I haven't found the right place or variable. VXKex NEXT crashes the game upon launching, so it's still not compatible. I've managed to get around with it on .msi files using Orca, but it's not for .EXEs.

Yes, it stands for Very Old Games On New Systems. New software on old systems is a different matter.

Perhaps someone could give you a hint if you post what exactly are you trying to run.

Ok, sorry about that. It's Delores: A Thimbleweed Park Mini-Adventure.
It requires Windows 10 and DX12 but the DX12 part I might've solved. I got the Windows7 DX12 libraries released by Microsoft and I got a DX12 compatible card (GTX1660), but now I only need to solve the OS detection part. I know I might face other problems, but I'll only be sure if I can solve this one first.

D3D12 on Windows 7 has to be used in specific way, it doesn't work exactly like D3D12 on Windows 10 from what I've read.

Ok like I said before, I might've solved that one, but I can't be sure unless I can get around the OS detection part. I believe that can be done using CFF Explorer but I'm not sure what exactly to change, as everything I tried changing didn't make a difference.
