I miss Vista. There’s nothing out there that replicates that feeling of booting it for the first time. Especially after years of XP… I got lucky though, I didn’t get on board until after SP1 had released so it wasn’t too bad and my laptop was above recommended spec for Home Premium.
Looking at SteamDB, it looks like it checks VC2015 is installed. So you’ll want to check if your bottle has at least one of: vcrun2015, vcrun2017, vcrun2019 or vcrun2022. It’s pretty likely that’s a required dependancy.
It also installs “DirectX Jun 2010 Redist” which installs or updates a bunch of libraries, I think most if not all of these can be installed to your bottle too. I don’t know which are required but it’s a place to start.
Oh that’s just a fruit salesman. I hear he has a good deal on pears.
