I've released a new AppleWin 1.30.0 here:
https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin/releases/tag/v1.30.0.0(try2)
There's nothing hugely significant feature-wise in this release (although it rolls up a fair chunk of internal refactoring work). But from a supported-OS point of view, I've built it with a platform toolset that now only supports Windows XP and above.
NB. I'm not testing against Win XP (only Win7-64 and Win10).
I anticipate that I'll jump Windows OS again at the end of this year to limit support to just Windows 7 and above.
The legacy 1.29.x versions are still available at https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin, for anyone needing them for older OS's (but obviously won't continue to be maintained).

Hi!
I was able to use the new version a couple of times in spite of a warning about a missing "vcruntime140.dll".
Today I decided to get rid of the message. Progress, but then I got a message about a missing "api-ms-win-crt-runtime...". Got rid of that problem but now another problem. I didn't write down the text of the message but i'm hoping a reboot will fix the problem. I'm composing this message now because I need something to do while the reboot proceeds.

Hi Willi.
The vcruntime140.dll issue is being tracked here:
https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin/issues/962
AppleWin statically links the VC runtime, but for foreign keyboard support it now uses FilterHook.dll which can't statically link the runtime. Modern VC tool chains use a "universal" runtime which comes with Windows. But to retain XP compatibility AppleWin is currently built using an older tool chain which in this case uses the VC 14 runtime (for VS 2015, 2017, 2019).
We will see if that DLL functionality can be merged into AppleWin itself, which should solve the problem.
As for the "ucrtbase" problem, that's a little unexpected. It might be the universal runtime which XP won't have. You could possibly extract the DLL from one of the installers at the following website.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-univers al-c-runtime-in-windows-c0514201-7fe6-95a3-b0a5-287930f3560c
Anyway, I'll add this problem to the GitHub issue above, and look into it later.
Cheers,
Nick.

Hi, y;all!
I timed a ProDOS assembly that generates a 475K listing file. AppleWin versions 1_21_1 and 1_25_0_4: 7 seconds. Versions 1_28_0_6 and 1_30_0: 13 minutes. Yes, emulated CPU speed was set at maximum for all runs. Not complaining, I thought the times were interesting.

Hi Willi - if you can make a repro available - eg. create a GitHub issue (here: https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin/issues) and then attach a zip of your .dsk image/s, that'd be great, and I could take a look.

Yes. Version 1_28_0_6 also runs slowly so I assume the same thing happens w/ that version. Nothing resting on the keyboard for all four runs.

Are you able to narrow this issue down to the *specific AppleWin version* where this problem started happening for you?

I have many versions of AppleWin installed on my XP system. The last four are versions 1_21_1, 1_25_0_4: 7, 1_28_0_6 and 1_30_0. With the first two versions listed the the assembly runs in 7 seconds. With the latter two it takes minutes. The XP system is no longer connected to the I'net so transferring files out of it will require the use of sneakernet.

If you have a GitHub account then you can attach the zip directly to this issue here:
https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin/issues/966
if you don't have an account (or don't want to create one) then perhaps you have a Dropbox or Google Drive account that you can upload to?
Thanks,
Tom
