This is still an issue to me.

Hi @zaqes, I'm sorry I missed that comment. I have added some replies there. In short, there are two options here:

  1. Do not update Python and stay at 3.7.x
  2. Install FLARE-VM on Windows 10.

Can this not be excluded when running "cup all" on Windows 7?

As far as I know, cup all will try to update all packages, including python3 package. You can cup libraries.python3.fireeye to only update the libraries instead.

What I meant was if this newer python version can't be excluded from Windows 7 installations when you do cup all?

@zaqes , can you elaborate a bit more? As far as I know, Python 3.8 does not support Windows 7 any more. FLARE-VM has to limit the Python version to 3.7 to keep Windows 7 support.

I don't think I know if a way to exclude Python when you perform cup all. I think cup all will try to update everything to the latest version, including Python

Ok, if there's no way to exclude a newer version on a specific OS I assume this issue cannot be resolved?
