    Sucks, using Win7, can't use the door as the windows runtime required for this won't install due to age of OS.

    The door has a lot of DLLs included with it.. I'm running mine on Linux, but I'd have thought maybe the runtime was pre-packged with the door? But maybe not.

    The runtimes are packaged with the door. The issue Exodus is having is that Win 7 doesn't support the minimum .NET Framework 4.8 requirement. So the runtime packaged with the door won't function properly under Win 7.

    The reason I am on Win7 is the NTVDM in Win10 32 bit is screwed for OLD doors causing some to error out and not run. With be having 1200 doors, I am not going to play does this work or not work everyime windows updates. I am fine on 7 for the BBS. To be honest, I would be on XP if some of the "external" stuff like Python and such doens't work on it.

    ... Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?
