Has someone successfully developed Qt 6 applications under Windows 7 or at least was able to run and deploy them on Windows 7 after building them on Windows 10? I khow that there is no official support of Win7/8 in Qt 6 but it would be useful to have a workaround.

I've been doing a lot of reading of Microsoft blog posts relating to .NET Core 3, but none of them mention the Windows version requirements, which is leading to a lot of comments querying whether Windows 7 will be supported?
I did find a quote from Rich Lander in this theregister.co.uk article:
Lander says "Windows 7 is
supported with .NET Core 2. We haven’t locked the OS matrix for .NET
Core 3, but we don’t have any specific plans on changing it."
Is there a definitive statement on Windows 7 support .NET Core 3 from Microsoft anywhere?
PS: I appreciate that Windows 7 is End of Life, but I'm also mindful that XP's extended support period was lengthened. Judging by the number of our clients who are still running Windows 7 it seems possible that Win 7 might get an extension too.
Just came across this table in the dotnet core GitHub repo which suggests that Windows 7 is indeed supported for .NET Core 3.0:
Windows 7 is also still supported in NET Core 3.1
And in .NET 5
And in .NET 6
And in .NET 7
You can also run .NET Core on Windows 7 SP0 if you install KB2533623 (~1MB).
Tested it on .NET 5.0 self-contained WPF application. Works fine.
It is even better. According to dotnet core repo the upcoming unifying .NET 5 will support Windows 7 SP1 and 8.
I get the following error when trying to build (Debug > Windows Phone > Device) the default Cordova TypeScript project :
No Windows Phone 8 emulators installed. Please install Visual Studio 2013 with Windows Phone 8 tools selected to install the emulators
Note: I was using the release candiate of Visual Studio 2015 and just installed the trial version of Visual Studio Community 2015.
Installing Visual Studio 2013 Windows Phone 8 tools can't be the correct solution.
I've downloaded and installed wpsdkv80_enu1.iso from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35471. It is Windows Phone SDK 8.0 and Emulator and it's working fine with Visual Studio 2015 Community
If you want to only test universal apps, you don't need to download WP SDK 8.0.
You can debug universal apps directly from VS by switching platform to Windows Phone(universal) and choose Windows 8.1 Emulator. But it expects Emulators for Windows Phone 8.1 to be installed.
If didn't installed Emulators for Windows Phone 8.1 you can do so in Program and Features -> Visual Studio 2015 -> Change.
Thanks for upgrading to the RTM VS 2015. Unfortunately, you do require VS2013 for Windows 8 emulators to be installed. They aren't available on VS 2015 or there is no stand-alone installer for the emulators. But you should be able to deploy your Windows 8 application on Windows 8.1 emulators, if that helps.
Correct me if I'm wrong:
The Windows Phone 8.1 emulators provided by VS2015 are only good
for testing Universal Windows apps (APPX) and nothing else.
Windows Phone 8.1
legacy apps (XAP) can only be emulated by installing the Windows Phone 8.1 Updated Emulators separately.
You won' find this piece of information anywhere on the MS reference sites.
I am curious about the qt version used on Blackberry 10 momemtics IDE. Can I use QT5 for blackberry 10 development ?
Directly from the documentation you can find here.
The current release of the BlackBerry 10 Gold NDK
[developer.blackberry.com] includes Qt 4.8 for both the simulator
target (x86) and device targets (arm) available for development.
Compared to the development for the PlayBook, Qt is integrated in the
BlackBerry 10 device firmware and so can be used by Qt applications as
shared libraries.
The page is quite detailed. Have a look at it.
However, Qt5 can still be considered. You can find more information on how to use this Qt version in this other page, which states:
Currently, Qt5 is neither included in the BlackBerry 10 device
software nor in the BlackBerry 10 SDK. However, Qt5 on BlackBerry 10
has reached a excellent level of quality and can be used for
developing and publishing applications to BlackBerry World.
BlackBerry 10 supplies only Qt 4 libraries.
You can use Qt 5 as long as you bundle your application with self-built Qt libraries.
Here you can find detailed information.

Is it possible to install IIS 7.5 or 7 on windows 8?
Simple answer - no.
Slightly longer answer - Since IIS 5.0 the version of IIS is tied to the version of the OS and it is now treated as an OS component. Windows 8 will run IIS 8 and there will be no means of installing a different version.
