Are we sure this is an Electron issue? When I extract ArmCord.Setup.3.1.7.exe with 7zip, the $PLUGINSDIR folder has another .7z file in it that's labeled for arm. If I extract that folder and run ArmCord.exe, I get this error:

I get the same symptoms (doesn't install properly, only leaves an uninstall file). I'm on Windows 10 Pro 22H2.

No, the problem is not dropping support for Windows 7/8/8.1... the problem is that the Windows installer is actually for Windows On Arm, and this is why you can't install it in any Windows 32 or 64 bits. The actual failure is described in issue #367

You're right, Electron 23 is indeed dropping Windows 7/8.1 support. I'm gonna be working on providing builds of ArmCord on older Electron versions soon and gonna notify you when the downloads are up in this gh issue. I highly recommend you to switch to Windows 10/11 though.

switch to Windows 10/11

I tried in 2015 and one last time in 2020. None of the attempts ever worked.

Try Linux then, anything will be better than outdated and unsecure OS that's gonna be drastically loosing software support
