Following the recomendation for the older post (as refered) i'd like to know: is it possible yet to run a software compiled for Windows (with Dot Net Framework 2.0) and Sql Server 2008 R2 Express? The software uses GDI+ apis as well so, would Dot Net install at all?
The older post where from 2018 (reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=143622)
Compatibility review

Re: Compatibility review
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package is in the rapps database and is available through Rapps application manager. Whatever is listed in the rapps database, was found to be working and should still work, but could have regressed.
My advice, is to test it and see what the outcome is. If you find a bug in ReactOS, then report it. But always remember that ReactOS is still alpha and prone to bsods.

Re: Compatibility review
Basically, nothing works in ReactOS, assume that. Then if it works, feel happy and report back. With regard to GDI+ I would expect your application to fail to render properly, if it renders at all - but still worth testing to find out. I have had some luck in placing some graphics on the screen but regular GDI+ updates failed to re-render. I plan to test GDI+ myself in the next few weeks.
I believe ReactOS gets the majority of its GDI code from Wine and I understand that Wine translates the GDI+ calls to GDI methods, a process that might differ somewhat from how Microsoft implemented GDI+. This knowledge I purport to have, is quite out of date so might require you to do so some research for yourself - this was the state of GDI+ APIs in Wine as of 2008 but I have seen no more recent update since - http://www.kegel.com/wine/sweng/2008/project.html

Re: Compatibility review
Ok, i understand - no expectations, no problem.
I find it odd that .Net exists in "Rapps Application Manager" (will find that out, haven't installed React OS again - tryied once some time ago) since "System.Graphics.dll" from .Net basically wraps up some GDI+ functions to simply exist (like Bigmap class, Graphics class and such).

Re: Compatibility review
There are loads of apps in Rapps that should work, will work, don't work &c. That is the manner of an Alpha o/s in the real world. As I said, expect all apps to break. Just because an app is in Rapps doesn't change the status of ReactOS.
In addition, understand that development will continuously make things work and then break them, then make them work again. However, it will all work in the end, well, that is the hope.

Re: Compatibility review
If the app exists in RAPPS, it means it previously worked, so you need to check newer builds against older to find regression.
