OBS 29 on Windows 7/8 (and Vista with extended kernel)

[K4sum1]

After an interaction with one of the OBS contributors, I decided to make this post as a fuck you. Also nobody else has figured this out yet?

You're going to need the QT6 fix, specifically the 6.3.1 fix.

Step 1: Obtain OBS 29, get the zip and extract it.

Step 2: Apply the QT6 fix, just copy and replace.

Step 3: Open obs.dll with CFF Explorer or a hex editor, the next few steps can be done with either CFF Explorer or a hex editor

For CFF Explorer, go to import directory, kernel32.dll, double click IsWow64Process2, and remove the 2 from the end
Save

or

For a hex editor, search for the hex 49 73 57 6F 77 36 34 50 72 6F 63 65 73 73 32
Change 32 to 00
Save

Awesome to see vista having OBS 28+. Also btw, Official Installer one also works in 7 (i've tested in OBS 28, never even tried 29, but maybe should work)

uhh hey @k4sum1, how do i fix the installer asking for windows 10+? I prefer the installer over the zip portable.

I just extract the zip on a flash drive and my misc stuff folder. If you really need the installer, maybe win10verhack would work.

OBS 29.0.2 still works on Vista with EK/7/8/8.1 with that workaround
