Hi Doug,
as others have indicated, I build NanoVNA-Saver executables using the very
oldest build environment I can get from Microsoft - namely Windows 7 32 bit.
Mainstream support for Windows Vista ended 7? years ago, and extended
support 2? years ago.
It might still be possible to run NanoVNA-Saver on Windows Vista by
installing Python 3.7, and the modules PyQt5 5.11 or newer, pyserial, numpy
and scipy. Then run it from the Python source available on GitHub. It
might even be possible to build compatible executables - but I personally
have no way to do that, nor to test on Windows Vista.
I hope you find a good solution for your setup!

I've tried NanoVNASaver v0.1.3 and v0.1.4 but they will not start. I get
a DOS window with the error message:
"Could not load the Qt platform plugin "Windows" in "" even though it was
found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be
initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: minimal, offscreen, webg1, windows."
Reinstalling NanoVNASaver (either version) did not fix the problem.
My PC runs Windows Vista with all available updates made. I suspect this
may be the problem, but no newer operating system is available for this
computer.
Is there any known solution to not loading the Qt platform?
NanoVNA Sharp works well, though.
Thanks,
