I wasn't suggesting to hack the OS, but the OS check that's part of the installer. I've done this with the old Orca tool, which can crack open an MSI and let you do some minor modifications with very little risk of breaking anything. The OS check is just a small table.

That's weird. I sort of assumed that the issue was the runtime, but apparently .NET Core 2+ will run on Win 7.
Yeah, that's arbitrary as hell.

It's the same with SQL 2016.
To illustrate that it's arbitrary, SSMS 2017 *can* be installed on Windows 7. So it's okay to manage a sql server 2017 instance from a Win7 box, but you can't install SQL server 2017 on a win7 box.

Well...MS has a number of management tools/consoles that'll install on any client OS, to manage stuff that only runs on a server OS. The entire System Center suite comes to mind (Operations Manager, Configuration Manager, Data Protection Manager, Virtual Machine Manager, etc). OTOH the trend these days is to implement the management console in a browser, so it'll run everywhere.

If Visual Studio 6 can be installed (and used) on Windows 7, I'm curious why such a newer piece of software would not be able to.

Because MS wrote the installer to disallow it. As someone else also mentioned, there are most likely runtime checks as well.

I saw that video a couple of days ago.
Absolutely terrifying. Glad the poor fellow survived.

Agree totally. The strange Thing is, the Pilot seems still to have his license
I remember the glider flights (sailplane) when I was young. If you did not land at the intended location, there was an investigation and that even if I was traveling alone without a passenger ...

He's now probably the safest hang glider you'll find in all of Switzerland

Well, there was one malfunction of glider in India and poor pilot, only 22, died. Passenger was safe though. They were recording the flight so one can actually see all that happened.

It's good to know what failed so an additional check can be added. I am no expert in this field but if someone is and can figure it out, it will help someone in future.
Same as Blackbox on flights.
