theia-ide for win7

[NO-MAP]

I am trying to develop an IDE for a specific language using Theia.
However, most of my colleagues at the company are still using Windows 7.
I found that Theia currently uses Electron v37, which no longer supports Windows 7.
Even with the browser version, I couldn’t get it to work with Chrome 109 (the highest version supported on Windows 7).

Are there any solutions to address the Windows 7 access issue?

Hey @NO-MAP,

As you already pointed out, there a quite a few technical reasons why we cannot support Windows 7 any longer. You might have some luck using an older version of Theia (from 2020 or 2021) to build your IDE, but there's no guarantee that works, and we don't offer any support for this.
