How to fix "DiscardVirtualMemory could not be located" when installing GitHub Desktop?

27.5k Views Asked by At

I am just trying to install GitHub Desktop on my Windows 7 PC. But it's saying "the procedure entry point DiscardVirtualMemory could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

How can I resolve this error?

At first I installed Windows6.1-KB2758857-x64 to get over this problem, but that didn't fix the issue.

It looks like version 3.2.4 is smart enough to handle the situation.

Uninstall the version of GithubDesktop that is "TOO NEW" for Windows 7. Then install v3.2.4
