I'm not working on UWP. If you work on bringing PHP to be UWP, please ask
other channels for support. I thought you wanted to solve your win7 issue
building PHP, so provided you the details of some win7 x86 setup. I wouldn't
invest my time answering on this otherwise.

Jan, the list is not a place to promote your builds. Maybe you should
reconsider  the behaviors spreading panics and rumours like you did with
openssl upgrades, vc14 dependencies, now with your UWP misinterpretation. If
you have some factual issue cases - please bring them up with a factual
evidence. It is your choice to do things you do and to be taken seriously or
not. Spreading wrong information doesn't really promote anyone. Three cases
mentioned are enough for me as it costs my dev time and turns out to be a
spent force at the end (

You won't be able to target UWP on win7 or win8. Please read the
documentation carefully. Good luck.

Thanks.
