MissConstrue<p>Edit: How much do y'all rock? All the rocks. Solutions have been arrived upon. Steps will be taken. Thanks everyone! </p><p>Ok, this is probably a question I could answer if I wade through all of the bullshit that passes as search engines and tech sites these days, but I thought I'd try a shortcut first, and Ask Mastodon. </p><p>If I have a windows 10 box, what is the best way to install win98 software that might want it's own drivers and versions of underlying core OS bits? </p><p>It's proprietary code, the creator has passed away, it was hand rolled for me, and I have about 20 years worth of formulations and product history using it.

I need to recreate a WCF service, but my new version (in .net 4.8) which is just the old code copied into a new project expects different things than the client (.net 3.5) is sending. </p><p>I don’t know enough about WCF, this is a legacy project from an old company, just trying to migrate the api away from azure classic before Microsoft shuts it down this summer.</p><p>Any experts out there willing to answer questions?</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/WCF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WCF</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/DotNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DotNet</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Azure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Azure</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/AzureClassic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AzureClassic</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OldCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldCode</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/HelpMeInternetYouAreMyOnlyHope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HelpMeInternetYouAreMyOnlyHope</span></a></p>
