4.10+ Entry Point Not Found (Python 3.12) pssquerysnapshot could not be located [Windows Server 2012 ]

Can't seem to get Sab to run since the Python 3.12 upgrade. 4.10 is the last working version. Can I assume that this has something to do with Windows Server 2012 being EOL before Python 3.12 came out?

Any workarounds? I wish I could change the OS but I am stuck on a software raid solution (Flexraid) that is defunct and had cloud activation so moving to a new OS would probably require a new raid solution and rebuilding the entire parity.

Based on your text, I think you've already googled it, right?

Python 3.12 on Windows Server 2012 ... does not look hopeful at all: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/110375 ... also with pssquerysnapshot error.

... but still: you could try to install Python 3.12 on Windows Server 2012 ... does it work at all?

That's why we have the 32bit legacy release. It uses an older Python version especially for this.
See the Downloads page.

so "Windows Portable (32bit and legacy)" ... maybe specify that "legacy" as "Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows 8" or just "Windows legacy"?

I added a mouse-over info to the legacy wording.
Due to the extremely low number of systems that still run this OS'es, I don't want to spent more space on them on our pages.
Those users can Google in case of problems :)

Ok. Thanks for clearing that up!
