I have recently been tasked with upgrading some really old Windows servers.  Obviously it would be a good idea to back them up before we do this.  When I try to install the current (ver 24 or 23) client, it throws a compatibility with either an existing or missing .dll (don't remember).  How old of a client can I go back to?  I have an existing Windows client installer version 14.x.  Will that work with the existing version 24 instance on RHEL 9?

You need Microsoft Visual C++ installed for the filedaemon running on windows. In my setups I don´t have any problems with "old" filedaemons, however it is not a big deal to upgrade them.
