When programs were compiled with older PureBasic versions, has there ever been the need of installing any MSVCRT runtime package? Personally, I never encountered that.

Yup, it'll just work, no need for installing anything. The only consequence is that XP support got dropped.

Code: Select all
Updated: Toolchain on Windows now use VisualStudio 2022 and new MSVCRT for faster PureBasic programs and easier external libs integration.
What are the consequences of this? Will applications compiled with the new version of PureBasic be able to run on each supported Windows version (Vista, 7, ...) without the need of installing any MSVCRT runtime package?

Me neither. I don't think it ever actually was a thing, but seeing VS 2022 frightened some people (understandably).

says cannot execute with the internal debugger try the standalone one

You probably have a mixup between compiler and IDE.

It's probably a bit earlier this time with the documentary.

I'm currently testing under Raspberry.
Also here you have to disable the hardware acceleration, because of the webkit bug under raspberry wookworm

Edit
Remove code ...

At time missing constant #PB_GadgetType_WebView

This beta has screwed me totally. I had to unistall all pb versions, deleted the appdata\roaming\purebasic, reinstalled PB 6.04 LTS and still refuses to compile anything saying cannot execute the file with the internal debugger.

It shows the right compiler in compiler settings but nothing works, any hints?
