Now, that is 'to the metal'.

I want to get the program running in 4k memory, otherwise I can't transfer it from the emulator to the real computer anymore. I want to leave it in its original state, without modern upgrades.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Damn!
I've got some of those installed on machines, but I don't have a machine with more than one, let alone all of them.
I guess it's time to put my feet up, whilst someone else sorts it out.

Dun worry, the vs installer will get whatever else it needs,
... plus as a bonus a whole bunch of [often useless] crap ms thinks you need.
<i>But seriously ms products are mostly quite good (with the exception of OS's after 7),
installation is usually quite painless (given decent internet connection to download other req)
but unlike other products it's the after-install removing crap and setting useful/normal/intelligent preferences that takes a lot of time and energy.</i>

If you have to uninstall something as invasive as VS and need to ensure all the leftovers are gone, you really need to use VMs instead and stop worrying about trying to keep your "good" machine(s) clean.

I agree. Plus you can backup/snapshot the VM before major updates / code changes.

When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Argh. If CP supported embedding images in messages, this is where I would've pasted a screenshot of my VM host, showing I have instances of each and every one of these OSes at the ready.
(but yeah, I did get the joke you were making)

Oh, just put a sock in it!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
