Comment on Thunk: Build Rust program to support Windows XP, Vista and moreparent

Comments

it would, just without standard library support, as the default stdlib imports system APIs that older versions don't provide. Other than those and a "supported OS version" filed in the PE header there isn't really much else in your way (hence my Rust9x project)

I thought win16 only supported NE and MZ, does it support PE?

this comment thread hasn't been talking about win16.

but you're right, win16 can only load some 32-bit PE files through something like Win32s
