Uninstall failure

Hi! Tried this on an Atom N280 netwook with Windows 7 32 bit. Installed, but uninstall does not work. So it stalled in my Applications list, unable to remove.

Apologies, I don't have access to a Windows 7 32 bit machine to test on. You could try a tool like Revo Uninstaller - That will help remove all traces of the app. Hope that helps!

I am building a ZX Spectrum emulator machine from an old netbook, so I am trying out all emulators that it can cope with, provided inferior hardware of Atom N280/GMA950. 64bit OS is out of the question, so i tried everything from XP EMbedded to stripped-down with NTLite Windows 10 IoT. Speculator installer didn't say it can't run on 32bit OS and installed right away. Sure i know about 3rd party uninstallers. Maybe you can add a check for OS compatibility during install?

Sounds like a cool project! I'll add the check to my todo list. Thanks.

Thanks! Are there any strict dependencies that make Speculator not work under 32bit Windows 7? Half of emulators i know work nice. more or less, including Spectaculator, and another half fail (as Spectral). Is it possible to compile Speculator for 32bit Windows 7? Btw, you can check pics of my project here: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/hQOfmJoeHU3fwQ
