32-bit version of VS Code for Windows 7 - visual-studio-code

I am trying to get a version of VS Code that will run on 32-bit Windows 7.
This page points to the release notes for 1.70 which has a 64-bit download.
This page provides a link to download the Insiders version, for use with 32-bit. But that version doesn't support Windows 7.
Where can I find such a version of VS Code?

The vscodium project still releases builds for many officially unsupported platforms formerly or never supported by vscode.
You can grab a release from here:
https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases

Here:
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.70.2/win32/stable (System installer)
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.70.2/win32-user/stable (User installer)
Taken from https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_70 and https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_previous-release-versions.
Though for some reason these don't work on my computer (Code.exe starts by dies after a bit). Who knows why...
Then there's a video downloading 1.50 and comments saying thank you, so I guess it worked (I didn't try because...) - very old version though. Not sure why 1.70 doesn't work on me, but anyway, according to Microsoft, it's the last one working on Windows 7, and here are the 2 links for its 32-bit Windows version. Hopefully it works for you and anyone else. This is a 2006 Pentium M DDR RAM PC anyway.
Also, there is a ZIP somewhere for 1.70.3, but I only found the 64-bit version.

BlueStacks with Android 7 works fine but Android Pie never starts

With the newer release of bluestack I got to know Android support for Pie. But when I when I tried to create a new instance for pie support it show me this issue Pie(64) version is not supported on this operating system. Please provide me solution, It will be very helpful
First of all check few things here.
If BlueStacks 5 Nougat 32-bit or Nougat 64-bit is already installed on your PC, then you can create a Pie 64-bit (Beta) instance on it using the Multi-Instance Manager.
Windows 11 will not support of 64-bit Pie.
Your bluestacks version should be 5.2.100 or above to use this feature.
For more details just check official doc
Hypervisor disabling has a lot more to do with than just the "Hyper V" in the 'turn windows features on or off'. Make sure to tick off at least a couple of more tick boxes detailed here in the official support page. These were the "Virtual machine platform" and "Windows hypervisor platform" for me. Once the Hypervisor support is completely removed, Pie 64 is able to be installed, instantiated, and run.
I had the same problem. I solved it by disabling Hyper V using an .exe file, which you can download from the official Bluestacks website at the link

Can Dart SDK be Installed on Windows 8

I'm wondering if Dart SDK can be installed on Windows 8 because I'm confused about the System Requirements, They said it supported on Windows 10 and Architectures x64, ia32.
So Why Flutter which includes the full Dart SDK can be installed on Windows 7 SP1, See Flutter Docs
If anyone interested, the linked Flutter Docs mention Win7 no more, and it is normal as MS doesn't officially support that any more - but that doesn't mean that a certain thing won't run on it. I have a toy machine that has 32-bit Win7, and I could install the latest Dart SDK and was able to dart run hello_world.dart, so it should work on Win8 as well - it is a different question though that which bits of the technology will crash, if they prefer >= Win10. One needs to experiment by trial-and-error...

Visual Studio Code is not detecting version 0.10.5

I am running Visual Studio Code 0.10.4 on Windows 8.1. It is not detecting the version 0.10.5 update. Does that indicate something is wrong or is it just that the update is taking a while to roll out?
Best regards
David
In any case you can always just download the latest version from https://code.visualstudio.com/ and run the installer over the existing version (after closing Code).

Matlab 2014b and mex files, has anyone been able to use Visual Studio Express?

I know that Visual Studio Pro will allow you to compile mex files for MATLAB 2014b.
However I was wondering if anyone was able to use Visual Studio Express (which is free, as opposed to Pro which is not) to compile mex files? I tried the Windows SDK (recommended by mathworks), with no success.
Update: This is the error I get:
A problem occurred while installing selected Windows SDK components. Installation of the "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7" product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm
Only I can't find that file.
Details:
Windows 7
MATLAB 2014b
Things I Did So Far:
SDK 7.1, I tried installing this not sure if it did not install correctly or was not actually a solution (from here: http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2014b/index.html)
Download the 30 day trial of Visual Studio Pro which is working
Yes. I used to use that exact combination if I recall. Make sure you get the right version of it though. Share the actual problem and maybe we can work around it.
This is another common issue with the Windows SDK 7.1 where it won't install if you have a newer Visual Studio 2010 runtime than version 10.0.30319, which is what it tries to install (you would think they would update the SDK installer!). You have to remove them before installing the SDK:
MsiExec.exe /passive /X{F0C3E5D1-1ADE-321E-8167-68EF0DE699A5}
MsiExec.exe /passive /X{1D8E6291-B0D5-35EC-8441-6616F567A0F7}
Then the SDK will install and you can reinstall the latest 2010 runtimes.
There is an identical issue with the old DirectX SDK (June 2010) and the solution is much the same.

cx_freeze on MAC 10.9 Python 2.7.6 (32/64 bit)

I have developed an app on a Window PC using Python and wxPython. For the several weeks I have been trying to migrate it to a MAC mini running 10.9, Python 2.7.6 (32/64 bit) using the Eclipse IDE with PyDev. I was NOT a MAC user prior to about three weeks ago when I purchased a used Mac mini and started working on it. Due to the fact that wxPython is a 32-bit library only I am running Python in 32-bit mode out of Eclipse - this has worked well until now I am ready to attempt and produce a stand alone app via cx_freeze and I am hitting a problem that cx_freeze is building the bundle using the 64-bit Python and it will not work with my 32-bit wx_Python library.
My question is what can I do at this point in time? Obviously, if I had been smart I would have installed the 32-bit ONLY version of Python 2.7.6 (hind sight you know), but I did not. I have gone through all the write to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.python.preference file and setting environment variables only to learn that that does not apply except to Apple installs. One solution would be to install the 32-bit ONLY Python - scared I will mess my current development environment up so that is why I am asking here for help. Also, there may be a setting in cx_freeze to accomplish this too. Any help to a "green horn" MAC person would be greatly appreciated.
