has been merged into master:

Latest GHA workflow that has this implemented:

win 32-bit binary (you only need the qjs-windows-x86.exe one):

Codewise, these artifacts correspond to a

Well, I never claimed any WinXP-compatibility myself ; the app authors officially support Win7+:

Windows    >= Windows 7*    |     VS >= 2022 and Clang are supported; requires <stdatomic.h>

*: Windows 7 is EOL and only supported in this project as long as it doesn't interfere with its progress.

About the "InitOnceExecuteOnce" error thrown on WinXP:

Minimum supported client |  Windows Vista [desktop apps | UWP apps]

So, I'm really "lucky" the app (even) runs on NT 6.0  (and "unofficial" Vista SP2 compatibility isn't a "given", as far as official support goes ) ...

The Windows 7 one from GitHub updates fine:

I have no experience with Github workflow at all, but you can't set it up to utilize the latest Python and OpenSSL as well?

No, I grabbed the two 32-bit dll's from an install of the updated OpenSSL from here. 

I thought these are still WinXP compatible, are they not?

Anyway... despite a small bump in the road I've compiled and uploaded OpenSSL 3.6.1.

... You'd also need to use "special" actions to: 

1) explicitly request and setup adang1345's CPython mod (NT 6.0+ compatible); Microsoft's GitHub probably only knows of the official PSF versions (Win10+)

2) explicitly request and install a "special" version (fork) of PyInstaller to compile the yt-dlp "Win7" binaries (which are also compatible with Vista SP2).

CPython versions, the PSF ones or even adang1345's, come with embedded OpenSSL binaries; IIUC, currently the swap of them with updated OpenSSL DLLs (e.g 3.6.1) is mainly a manual job; I can't imagine how this could be done in the context of a workflow, but what do I know? ...

Many thanks, indeed  ...

Yes, those are XP compatible.

There are also binaries here, but they are Vista+.

Then why do you need mine?

While I was at it (compiling OpenSSL) I've had a look at this, but I couldn't compile quickjs. The culprit is undoubtedly "Add cross-platform Atomics support". I think it will be extremely difficult to restore WinXP compatibility. Attempting this at all, I think a patch similar to how I (with the help of Gianluigi "sherpya" Tiesi) restored WinXP compatibility to libaom back in the day is needed. We could ask him to have a look?

thats a simple function kernel extenders have it already somewhere

however it would be better to use dependency walker to see if there are more

I don't need them now, but others might prefer them.

What I'm wondering is, why are your dll's larger in file size than the ones from here? 

• libcrypto-3.dll: 5.19MB vs 4.38MB
• libssl-3.dll: 1.21MB vs 1.01MB

More features?
