- Kinda awesome. However, does also leave me with bewildered. I mean, it's nice that you _can_ solve this.
- But it is really crappy that you have to, in the first place. Why don't we switch to quality software that was actually written this century?
- Either that, or, why don't we keep these applications on their intended platform? I mean, you are basically sewing together a backwards compatible virtual machine from various components (XenApp/RDP, RES manager, Application virtualization, (UAC?) virtualization, compatibility shims, what not).
- FrankenPC!
- Do we ever wonder why our software delivery fails to get robust?
- How many paid products were used in trying to make other paid products work as advertised?
- (Also, I wager that there would have been a decent chance of fixing the file access problems by having SW2000.EXE start from a safe working directory (there is a reasonable chance that it just accesses these files by relative paths).)
- Still awesome war story. Thanks for sharing, seriously. It does inspire me at least as much as it saddens me :)
