Exception 0xc0000005 0x8 0x0 0x0

Running 2.10.0 on Windows 7 gives these errors.

I can confirm that 2.9.0 used to work and didn't throw these errors, but that version had #320 .

Something's broken on 2.10.0 .

I'm looking for a non-"just-use-Windows-8/10/11" solution to this problem.

Thanks for any and all help.

Since Go 1.21 the Minimum Requirements are Windows 10 and later. The support for Go 1.20 has ended.

Even if this download tool can be built with Go 1.20 today, every dependency could introduce changes that are incompatible with outdated versions of Go. Windows 7 is end of life since january 2020. In my opionion we should not put any effort in supporting Windows 7.

After configuring youtubedr.exe 2.10.1 with VxKex , I'm able to get it running on Windows 7 x64.

VxKex is amazing. It also works on other Win8+ compatible software.

Leaving a comment here in case somebody else needs to run youtubedr on Win7. Hope this helps.
