This release of VxKex is primarily a bug-fix release intended to improve compatibility with Electron applications which display JavaScript errors upon startup, or complain about "uv_os_gethostname". The affected applications include VSCode (and VSCodium) and Signal. Other minor fixes are listed in the change log below.
The installers for this release (and future releases) work for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
Download the Release installer unless:
- you have been instructed to use a Debug build,
- you need PDB files, or
- you are developing VxKex.
Feel free to discuss on the Issues section if you have any questions.
VERSION 1.1.1.1375
- Added support for more Electron applications:
- VSCode
- VSCodium
- Discord (Canary)
- Signal
- Blockbench
- Fixed a bug where some command-line applications would not show any
output.
- Fixed a bug where a mixture of forward slashes and backslashes in the
%Path% environment variable could cause VxKex to fail to start for
some programs. Autodesk Maya is known to cause this situation.
- Fix an issue where Windows may display a "This program might not have
installed correctly" dialog after exiting the installer.
- Fix an issue where a 32-bit application starting a Chromium process
could cause it to enter an endless loop/application hang.
- The installer now displays a warning if the recommended updates
are not installed on the system.
