  • session for win7

    From Ogg@21:4/106.21 to All on Sat Sep 9 21:55:00 2023
    I've been using Session desktop on Win7 quite satisfactorily
    for a while now. Update notices come along and prompt you to
    accept them or opt for "Later". The lastest operating version
    for me was 1.11.0.

    An update notice arrived yesterday. I accepted it. 1.11.2
    failed. Error message was "DiscardVirtualMemory could not be
    located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"

    Well.. apparently, Win7 does not support DiscardVirtualMemory.
    There was no clue of this at the Session blog.

    So.. just a heads up to any other Win7 users out there,
    apparently Win7 support has ended at 1.11.0.

    I was able to re-install Session 1.11.0 from the releases
    available on the Github development site.

    The only annoying thing is that Session now prompts for the
    upgrade every few minutes.

    Alias the DNS entry for the "update" site and point it to a local address, so it can look all it wants it'll never see the updates?

    Considering how Session works, thru its own Tor, I think it
    would be next to impossible to identify the relevant IP
    address. The connections over the network are quite dynamic
    and change several times when operating.
