Windows Poop Edition 5

NOTE: Windows PE 5 is currently in beta. Features are subject to change, and there may be some bugs. (oh wait, its Windows Poop Edition, of course there's gonna be bugs...)

Windows Poop Edition 5 is yet another release in CrapOS's never-ending Windows PE product line. It includes many new and exciting* features, such as:

• Finally, a more proper windowing system! Have multiple windows on screen at once, and drag and resize them to your heart's content!
• Files on the desktop!
• Many improvements(?) to the user interface!
• A functioning Chat application! Communicate with fellow Windows PE users in real time!
• Looks different from Windows PE 4!

(NOTE: The features listed above are subject to change, as Windows PE 5 is still in beta.)

NAQ: non-asked questions

Why is the cursor so wide?

NOTE: It seems this bug was finally fixed in LÖVE 11.5, so custom cursors will be once again enabled on Windows in Release 1.0.

This is an issue that occurs on Windows, and it is not within my control. It's a bug with LÖVE (or technically, a bug with the SDL version that LÖVE 11.4 uses) that won't be fixed until 12.0 releases.

I downloaded a new version, but when I launch it, it just loads the older version!

This should only be happening if the last version you installed is Beta 6.0 or older (newer versions should detect the version mismatch and run the installer automatically). This is happening because it's still booting into your older installation of Windows PE, so you need to reinstall. To do this, delete the main.lua file at the top-level directory, either from Windows PE itself or by navigating to where your save folder is, as described on this page (the game is in "fused mode" if you're running the Windows .exe file). (Note that if you do it from within Windows PE, the icon will still be there after you delete it because of Reasons, but rest assured the file has indeed been deleted.) Now once you restart Windows PE, the newer version's installer will start.
