Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with bitcoin-abc-0.18.6-win64-setup-unsigned.exe and compare its Windows Server 2003 x64 behavior with version 0.18.2, focusing on the reported dwmapi.dll startup failure. Done means establishing whether version 0.18.6 supports this operating system and either restoring startup or clearly documenting the compatibility limitation.
