Version mismatch between V8 binary and snapshot

Open WrongBit opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

I have Win7x64 with installed Opera, Chromium, previous VSCodium, maybe other clumsy "chromium-based" apps presented too. I installed latest 1.61.2 (w/o updates) MSI file and when I tried to start VSC (from Explorer), I see NOTHING. So problem #1: even if your program encountered problem, you must show error dialog (GUI) to say user about problem.

Only when I guessed to start VSC from the command line, I see this error:

Fatal error in , line 0

Version mismatch between V8 binary and snapshot.

V8 binary version: 9.1.269.39-electron.0

Snapshot version: н┴╟d7.8.279.23-electron.0

The snapshot consists of 701096 bytes and contains 3 context(s)

Sorry, what rubbish is that??? who is v8, what is snapshot in terms of VSC and why I should worry about some mismatch? This is ugliest message about error, giving me ZERO understanding WHAT happen and how I can FIX it. Also pay attention on characters before "d7.8.279.23-electron.0" - obvious rubbish nobody needs to see.
