vs_BuildTools.exe (MS Visual C++ Build Tools) still detects Windows 7 despite VxKex
I need to install MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 builds tools (latest) but vs_BuildTools.exe (https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe) detects Windows 7 and refuses to install.
If I enable VxKex for it and tick to report my OS as Windows 10, it fails to download.
If I also tick "use stronger version reporting" it keeps it from launching.
Discovered this by debugging VS 2019 installer.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup]
"DisableBlockedOSCheck"=dword:00000001
Leaving the thread open since goal is to make VxKex work around these checks instead of relying on something Microsoft uses internally and will most likely be removed in future.
Oh thanks. However I don't remember why I needed this, it was needed by some important software that I needed to install back then, that is why I asked, but I just can't remember what it was '-_- , I probably ended up installing an older version of the software that did not require this then I totally forgot about it all. Big thank to you anyway for maintaining VxKex and keeping on improving it. :)
