When launching the app nothing happens. The previous version of the application works on Windows 7 x64, the latest one doesn't work. It's the 3rd recently updated PortApps application that I've tested and that doesn't work. Apparently something changed in the way portability is made for the Portapps so that these don't work with Win7 anymore.

@Mitch037, you mean KERNEL32.DLL error? VSCodium is based on Electron, Electron dropped Windows 7 support in October 2023, the last working version is 22.3.27. You can unpack it into VSCodium folder, replacing everything except for /resources/ folder, then rename Electron.exe to VSCodium.exe. Or use a fork Codium, which is somewhat based on this recipe.

But in the long run you'd better move to something more reliable, for example, Sublime Text.
