I have many Xojo apps that install into the same folder. Must they all be compiled with the same version of Xojo, or can earlier compiles run correctly with the latest XojoGUIFramework64.dll ?
Have you tried just swapping them out and running the exe? Don’t know how complex your programs are to test but you should find out real quick if it works or not.
Just name the old dll (name).dll.backup so you can swap back.
I would NOT risk this. You are very, very likely to run into subtle bugs – if it works at all. This is exactly the kind of situation where it might seem to run fine for a while until it doesn’t, in minor or spectacular fashion.

I wouldn’t ship it in a production environment or try it out on a kernel level module but if it’s just my apps on a local machine I would do it haha. To each their own!
Nothing I’ve made is that old though so I just recompile them with the latest versions. Simple enough to do.
If you build all apps with same version (and same plugin versions), you can put them all in the same folder and make one “Libs” folder and merge all Libs folders there.
