Windows ARM installer

szabba opened this issue · comments

There's no pre-built version that one can run on a Windows ARM laptop.

Edit: I've not checked the portable version, originally. That at least starts. I do get an error from the installer though:

I currently have no way to do ARM builds for Windows. I suppose a virtual machine could suffice...

This has not been highly requested, though.

I have the same issue.

Thanks @szabba for mentioning the portable version. It works great so far.

@skyjake, for what it's worth, Windows 11 for ARM has the ability through emulation to seamlessly run 32 and 64 bit x86 Windows binaries for compatiblity with existing software. Performance is better with an ARM-native build, but if the Lagrange release were exactly the same, except that the installer would just not block install, it'd be workable.

I'm not sure how to check the installer logs, or I'd tell you what the installer sees on my computer. If I open Lagrange Portable itself, the PROCESSOR_* fields in the Debug Information tab there are:

PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=ARMv8 (64-bit) Family 8 Model 805 Revision D0E, Qualcomm Technologies Inc
PROCESSOR_LEVEL=2053
PROCESSOR_REVISION=0d0e
