End of Windows 7 support (?) #113

Open Komprogue opened 5 months ago

Komprogue commented 5 months ago

v.2.4.10 is running without any problems, but the latest build (v.2.5.4) doesn't run at all.

Oh weird, not sure. We did an electron upgrade in that version, so that is the most likely culprit.

The error message is

Entry point to procedure DiscardVirtualMemory not found in DLL library KERNEL32.dll.

Yeah looks like support was dropped:

Electron 23 no longer supports Windows 7/8/8.1. Electron follows the planned Chromium deprecation policy, which will deprecate Windows 7/8/8.1 , as well as Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 support in Chromium 109 (read more here).

Just out of curiosity- could you also give v3 a shot? It probably does not have all the features you need yet, but would be nice to know if that still supports Windows 7

It doesn't run too. Have got this error message only.

I see, thank you for trying. Looks like the JVM that I package by default with v3 does not even list windows 7 on this page 💀 https://adoptium.net/de/supported-platforms/

I will also continue shipping with the latest JVMs, but I think I can stay compatible with Java 8 for some time, so that way you should be able to install Java 8 to run the .jar release instead. The current one needs at least Java 17, but I can change the configuration for now
