Old version no longer working (v2018)

I am using PHPMaker 2018.0.8, for some reason I can no longer run this program. I am using Windows 10, I did not upgrade to any further updates

Version 2018 is too old and there are no more support for that version.

We suggest you to upgrade to the latest version, as of today is v2024.

There are too many reasons why you should upgrade to the latest version. One of those reasons is you should use PHP 8 for better performance.
