Second System 2.5 Released (Patreon)

The following changes have been implemented in this release:

-further fixes to DXGI targetting Windows 8.x - black screens on various Electron/CEF applications should be eradicated-D3D12GetInterface added to D3D12.dll-DCOMP wrapper added for Windows Vista/7 - should improve support for Photoshop 26.x and most other Adobe suite applications-DPI scaling improvements for various applications using Second System on Windows Vista/7/8.x, including Adobe applications, Syntheyes, Houdini FX and more-Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 cl.exe should now have Second System properly applied to it in all cases on Windows Vista-Problems with early Windows 7 SP1 shell have been corrected-LibreOffice 26.x fully functional on Windows 8.x, functional on Windows 7 but slower for nowAnd as the screenshots indicate, Adobe Photoshop 2025 (26.x) works all the way down to Windows Vista, and Adobe Premiere Pro 2023 works on Windows 7. Work to bring Adobe Premiere Pro 2025 (26.x) to Windows 8.x and 7 is currently underway, as well as work to bring Windows Installer under the Second System umbrella. Although, I will say that it is quite easy to outsmart the LibreOffice 26.x MSI installer's version checking method; all you have to do is create a DWORD named CurrentMajorVersionNumber in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion and set it to 10 (0xA).Download links will be on the dedicated download post for this version.
