Cryptomator 1.5 on Windows 8.1 #30

Closed Pantos closed 4 years ago

Pantos commented 4 years ago

I'm running Windows 8.1 and i'm surprised that Cryptomator 1.5 now is Win 10 only. Are there any plans to change this? I'm using Cryptomator daily, but this is a real showstopper...

We are currently discussing this option: https://community.cryptomator.org/t/1-5-0-final-issue-with-windows-7-esu-and-8/5232

At the time of writing this, 8.1 might still be an option according to Oracle and I just noticed that even Windows 7 is supported via AdoptOpenJDK.

I see two options here:

  1. We could add a separate installer for legacy systems
  2. We could add a warning in a single unified installer, if a user attempts to install Cryptomator on such a system (instead of blocking it).
