I haven't use it to extensively yet and I am sure I can probably streamline it to some extent. I did have to rename the 'PM65.CNF' file to 'PM65old.CNF' and let the program recreate the file in order to be able to save defaults. I can now insert the USB drive into my Windows 10 computer and start PageMaker 6.5 from the flash drive. I then cloned the hard drive of the laptop to a USB flash drive. I reloaded PageMaker onto an old Windows XP laptop to have a more current operating system and smaller cleaner hard drive. Much to my surprise, PageMaker 6.5 started.

Out of curiosity I double clicked on the PM65.EXE file. Of course this hard drive had the operating system from the old computer since I had simply pulled the hard drive from the unit. This will work for both 32 Bit and 64 Bit operating systems. This is complete offline installer and full standalone setup for PageMaker.

On my Windows 10 computer, I was looking through a hard drive from an old computer (running windows 98) which was able to run PageMaker 6.5.

Your antique software would need an antique Mac, now quite hard to find.I have been a user of PageMaker 6.5 for many years and was disappointed when it would not load on my new Windows 10 computer. So, Apple have thrown out all old apps at least 3 times since PageMaker 6.5 ran, and it won't have run for 15 years at least. PageMaker 6.5 ran under Classic (though some people were having severe problems already in Tiger Mac OS 10.4 from 2005. This didn't include 'Classic' which allowed some apps written for Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 to run. In 2007, Apple released Leopard Mac OS 10.5. But PageMaker 6.5 wasn't one of them and wouldn't run before. This didn't include 'Rosetta 1', which allowed Mac OS X users with Intel computers to run 'Carbon' apps written for Power PC processors. In 2010, Apple released Lion Mac OS 10.7. It blocked all old apps from before 2019, including (but not only) all Mac OS X 32-bit apps. In 2020, Apple released Catalina Mac OS 10.15. Apple regularly change things completely to throw out all the old apps.
