The link on the word "here" leads to: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_15#_windows-64-bit
The downloads there are x86-64 however rather than ARM64. This message is wrong or at least very misleading. Please remove it.
You don't yet support ARM64 as requested in #33620? Fine. (Actually not so fine since it seems to be possible now that much work on Chromium and Electron ARM64 has been done. See: https://github.com/ljsabc/Code-OSS-Win32-arm64)
But before telling me to go and download another version, please make sure it can actually run on my machine. Instead of just checking bitness, check the platform too. See the
IsWow64Process2
function (in contrast withIsWow64Process
) for example.When you finally support ARM64 you could bring the message back, and point the link to the correct (future) blog post.
