Inconsistent prerequisites. Is the insider build still required? #57

Open AliciaBytes opened 6 months ago

AliciaBytes commented 6 months ago

Hey, I just want to clarify if installing dtrace on windows still requires running an insider build. The install instructions instruct to follow an MSDN article which explicitly states Windows 10 insider build 18980 as a requirement and that not following them could cause system instabilities.

The install instructions in this repository list Windows 10 1903 as a minimum requirement and don't specify an insider build.

My current setup is an up-to-date Version of Windows 11 (non-insider) and I'm wondering if it's safe to install and which prerequisites are right, given the inconsistencies?

Hey @AliciaBytes, the latest Windows 11 build should work very well. In fact, I recently published a DTrace version 2.0 which works with Windows 11. You can download it here - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100441.

I understand the confusion and I'll get the inconsistencies fixed. Thank you for the feedback!
