There probably aren’t too many folks here that still use older Windows versions, but I dusted off an old laptop of mine with Windows Vista and hit this:
---------------------------
atom.exe - Entry Point Not Found
---------------------------
The procedure entry point RegisterTouchWindow could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll.
I personally don’t care too much if this is fixed, but it would be nice to have the system requirements for Particle Dev posted on https://www.particle.io/dev or at least have the installer fail for unsupported versions of Windows. Fixing would be okay too.
Thanks for filing this issue. I was just disappointed to find out my Vista laptop won’t host Particle Dev. Any standalone alternatives, such as Eclipse, etc?
I tried to install Particle Dev on my Vista laptop and ran into a similar problem as the original poster, an error during installation regarding a DLL or entry point. I could try again if anyone interested in the exact message. Microsoft has done a good job of stuffing landfills with old computers. (Actually I retract that – MS has done a better than expected job of retaining legacy applications, but probably security concerns have driven a lot of the core changes. Still wish the older stuff would continue working. The software generations are so short now that it is expensive to keep current).
