The recommended version of Windows is now Windows 7. It is not impossible to install it on Vista or XP, but:
- The driver will not install on Vista x64. Up to now, this was possible because an old version was included. Now, Vista's users are extremely rare so keeping these files in the package can be reconsidered.
- DiscUtilsDevio and the DiscUtils library (required for image file formats such as VDI, VHD, VMDK) will not work.
Other limitations might come in the future. Therefore, the last fully compatible version with XP and Vista is 20240113.
DiscUtils now requires .NET Framework 4.8. It is included in the last versions of Windows 10 (1903 and later) and Windows 11, so a large part of the users should already have it.
If it is not the case, it is available for Windows 7 and later here:

Of course, the installer detects the version you have and gives you a message and this link if necessary.
The new version of DiscUtils brings important speed improvements. So I think the new .NET requirement is really worth it.
There is also a new translation: traditional chinese (for Hong Kong region). Thanks to 楊添明!
Thank you for all your work. I've been using your ramdisk for ~xx years and I can't imagine life without it. One of the most important and best programs I use. All the best Olof.
Same here, so a big thank you from me too!
