Reupload of VxKex Releases
In light of the recent deletion of the original VxKex repository (https://github.com/vxiiduu/VxKex/) and the occurrence of impersonation and misinformation, I am re-uploading the original VxKex releases and source codes to ensure users have access to the authentic versions.

- Scam Alert: It includes a Bitcoin donation page and claims to release "VxKex 2.0 soon".
Action Required:
- Avoid: Do not download or interact with the fake repo.
- Report: Report the repository to GitHub.
Original Release Note:
This release of VxKex is primarily a bug-fix release intended to improve compatibility with Electron applications which display JavaScript errors upon startup, or complain about "uv_os_gethostname". The affected applications include VSCode (and VSCodium) and Signal. Other minor fixes are listed in the change log below.
The installers for this release (and future releases) work for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
Download the Release installer unless:
you have been instructed to use a Debug build,
you need PDB files, or
you are developing VxKex.
Feel free to discuss on the Issues section if you have any questions.
VERSION 1.1.1.1375
- Added support for more Electron applications:
- VSCode
- VSCodium
- Discord (Canary)
- Signal
- Blockbench
- Fixed a bug where some command-line applications would not show any
output.
- Fixed a bug where a mixture of forward slashes and backslashes in the
%Path% environment variable could cause VxKex to fail to start for
some programs. Autodesk Maya is known to cause this situation.
- Fix an issue where Windows may display a "This program might not have
installed correctly" dialog after exiting the installer.
- Fix an issue where a 32-bit application starting a Chromium process
could cause it to enter an endless loop/application hang.
- The installer now displays a warning if the recommended updates
are not installed on the system.

Original Release Note:
This release is a full rewrite of VxKex intended to address the many bugs and technical problems that users were experiencing with previous versions. I hope you find it useful and I wish you good luck on getting programs to run.
The installers for this release (and future releases) work for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.

VERSION 1.0.0.999
- Changed VxKex architecture from IFEO Debugger to IFEO VerifierDlls.
This removes many bugs and deficiencies of the previous architecture.
- MSI installers are now supported.
- VxKex now bypasses the "... is not a valid Win32 application" error
which can be caused by a version check before programs run.
- Administrator permissions are no longer required to configure most
settings.
- Add support for many more applications. See the application
compatibility list for a full overview.
- IFEO filter is now used. This prevents applications with the same
.exe name conflicting.
- Added support for the majority of Qt6 applications.
- Work around font kerning issues in QBittorrent.
- The installer now disables VxKex for programs when uninstalling.
- Global configuration GUI has been added.
- Debug logging has been significantly improved with the introduction
of the .vxl file format and VxlView application.
This time the 32 bit setups are not included because they probably don't work (have never been tested). You can still run 32 bit applications on a 64 bit computer/OS under VxKex.
