Sadly, "upgrading" most Eu apps that use win32lib will cause them to stop working. While euman was asking RobC to fix dir() 10 years ago, i was asking people who submit apps to the contributions page to include the version of win32lib that their app worked with. Most people did not. Many apps no longer work because win32lib has been continually changed and improved, and each new version was made backwards incompatable.
This has not been my experience. All the Win32lib apps that I have on my machine that were created before Eu4, still work for me so I'm at loss to understand what issue(s) you are describing. Also, a lot of effort went into making Win32lib upgrades compatible with early releases so again, I'm unsure about what issue(s) you are referring to.
Is it possible that someone can give me explicit examples of older Win32lib apps that have problems with either the latest release of win32lib or with Eu4?
Try anything written for win32lib during the first year you took it over, or anything prior to that, when DaveC was giving birth to it.
You won't be the first today to call me names like useless, stupid, paranoid, etc, i just got off the phone with centurylink customer service who told me in plain terms that a byte is the same as a bit and i can get 3 megabyte service from them at a residence. I been playing in computer circuits over 40 years, and a twenty-something just wipes out my education, and disparages me at the same time. She tells me that "bit" vs "byte" is a matter of pronunciation, so i asked for the terms of service from her in writing, and she says they don't put things in writing.
