Describe the bug
During the installation of the application on Windows 7, an error occurs - 0xc0000005
. When trying to uninstall an application through the installer file, the same error occurs. After installation, the application files are installed in the folder C:/Program Files/AmneziaVPN
, but when trying to launch the application AmneziaVPN.exe
an error occurs - 0xc0000005
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Downloaded the installer version 4.1.2 from the Release section
- Launched the installation file on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
- Apparently, upon completion of the installation, the application file does not run, which gives an error -
0xc0000005
- See the error in the screenshot
Expected behavior
I expect the application to work
Log files
The log file is attached. InstallationLog.txt
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP 1
Additional context
I examined the error log in Windows and found two errors:
- Event ID: 7000. The AmneziaVPN-service service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. - Event ID: 7009. A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the AmneziaVPN-service service to connect.
Windows 7 is not supported because the version of Qt used by the developers does not support it.
Why they use the latest versions of libraries remains a mystery. There is no technical need for this. New doesn't mean better.
Is there an earlier release that will work?

2.1.2
We are working on Windows 7 support, I hope it will be finished in couple weeks
Nothing has changed in the new version 4.5.3
The program does not work in Windows 7
As before, there is no OS version check before installation.

And I think there should be a note in the release about the compatible OS version.
