Does anyone know if Synchronet 3.17 will run on Windows NT 4.0?

I have an older system I built around 2000 which used to run Windows
2000, but I'm thinking of pulling it out of mothballs to run a Sync
board on.  I ran Sync on it years ago with Win 2K and then Linux, but
I'm wondering if I went back to Windows NT 4.0 if Sync 3.17 would work
on it?   Thanks --

There's a way to find out, since I don't know right off hand.

1) Grab [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/).

2) Grab [Windows NT 4.0](https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-
nt-40/40).

3) Grab [SynchroNet](https://www.synchro.net/).

4) Uh. Make an NT4 VM and run SynchroNet on it.

Shouldn't be too bad, but that'd be a way to test it quick.

I can tell you from personal experience that 3.17 will not run on
Windows 2000. The newest version that will run on Windows 2000 is
3.15b. It is my understanding that 3.17 is built using the latest
Microsoft C runtime libraries available (at the time) and they are not
available on Windows 2000. Also, Windows XP is the lowest version of
Windows needed to run 3.17.

Better bet might be to go Linux, it'll run much better on older
hardware and can run Syncro
