I'm running WIndows 10 x64 and am trying to shell to FreeFileSync 10.23 from a Visual Basic 6 program and I receive the following error from FreeFileSync: "FreeFileSync 10.23 needs Windows 7 or later operating system to run!". This used to work in a prior version of FreeFileSync but it was a while ago and I don't remember what version. I'm pretty sure I was running Windows 10 at the time.

I just figured it out. I only get this error when running from the IDE but once it's compiled it seems to work ok. I did think it used to work from the IDE but can't be sure. It's been a while.
