1. EuGTK updated

I've posted 4.12.4 to http://sites.google.com/site/euphoriagtk/Home
This version fixes a minor problem when running on Raspberry Pi, and the latest version of the Win GTK3 runtime installer (link provided in installation instructions) works well on Windows.

(for testing on Windows virtualbox)
The link you give is for 64bit. That link, in turn, references only gtk2 32bit versions.
Do you have a link for gtk3 with 32bit?

You can get very old versions: http://www.tarnyko.net/en/?q=node/20 https://www.windows7download.com/win7-gtk-for-windows-x32/itzwubnv.html
Most of the links to 32-bit versions are now 404. Nobody seems interested in compiling .dll's for 32-bit processors.
Those old versions were the reason I didn't want to endorse using EuGTK on Windows, since they lack features and look a bit ugly. The new version looks nice, but the only easy install is the link given in my instructions ( https://github.com/tschoonj/GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer ) and it's 64 only.
If you want to live dangerously, you might download the following, and copy the .dll's to an appropriate place in Windows. No guarantees that everything you need is there, or that it will not be a great deal of hassle to get it working:

I got errors loading the dll's ( Virtualbox Win7 32bit)

It looks like this is the year 32bit ends. Lots of Linux distributions are starting to go 64bit only.

That is a 60MB download. Too much for a casual test.
I'm sticking with Mint Linux.

Using Virtual Win10 64bit EuGtk works great.
Suggestions for the message.pdf:
- https://github.com/tschoonj/GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer/releases/download/2017-09-25/gtk3-runtime-3.22.21-2017-09-25-ts-win64.exe
you could provide the direct link to the installer
- emphasize that this works on 64bit systems only; "tschoonj" does not have a 32bit installer

I'd recommend pointing to the project or releases page instead of the direct download.
IMHO, it's considered rude to point to a link of a release files directly. Send downloaders to the project itself.
This also prevents the documentation from stagnating too quickly as version numbers will change.
