"This app can´t run on your PC
To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher."
This refers to the SheepShaver GUI, SheepShaver itself runs fine.
Is this a new feature of W10 maybe?
I´m somewhat clueless, as the SS GUI runs on my other W10 rig without issues.
The GUI error pops up on my T420 notebook.
The only difference I can imagine is that the T420 got a clean W10 install, the other PCs were upgraded from W7.
Could it be some framework from W7 is still there when upgrading to W10 which makes the SS GUI work?

Doesn't SS for Windows need some extra windowing/graphics framework? Gnome or Qt or SDL?
Re: This app can´t run on your PC
SheepShaver wants a SDL.DLL, which is in the SheepShaver folder as usual and I did install GTK+ 2.10.13 of course.
Not sure of the demands of the GUI though.
I´ll check whether the GUI is working with an upgraded W10 and the T420 on the weekend to exclude that.
I´m not using W10 as a host that much, so I thought I might have run into a known error.

Re: This app can´t run on your PC
Finally got around installing W7 again on the T420 and upgraded to W10.
The SheepShaver GUI is working again as expected.
Would be interesting if someone else could reproduce the error with a clean (non upgraded) W10 (1511) installation.
Its way above my head to figure out what trigered the error.

Re: This app can´t run on your PC
Hmm... I wonder if this is a 32-bit/64-bit issue with the GUI. Win10 has a number of restrictions that weren't there in win7.
Re: This app can´t run on your PC
Could be of course.
Many 32bit apps do run on the other hand in some sort of compatibility mode in W10.
