Discord Working on Windows Vista and XP

[Novek]

Where I got this from: Discord desktop app on Windows XP

How to do this?

Step 1. Download Discord from https://dl.discordapp.net/apps/win/0.0.309/DiscordSetup.exe

Step 2. Extract the setup using 7-zip

Step 3. Extract the nupkg using 7-zip

Step 3. Go to Discord-0.0.309-full\lib\net45

Step 4. Send Discord.exe to your desktop as a shortcut

Done!

Awesome! How stable is it on a Extended Kernel'd Vista, compared to a One-Core-API'd XP?

Step 5. Go to the properties and add "--ignore-certificate-errors"

Strange, why would Vista need that hack, Vista supports all modern certificates, in contrast to XP.

So far very stable, Joining a VC and Screen sharing works

Problem:

I tried this on my XP SP3 2002 edition VM (App: Vmware Workstation 17 Pro) and i got this specific error

Any way to fix this?

For XP you also need an API extender. See reddit link for more details.
