CodeBlocks 2020.03 32bit, problem on Windows Vista
B Trevathan:
I have the same problem with Code::Blocks 20.03 32 bit not starting on Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
After installing codeblocks-20.03-32bit-setup.exe when I try to start Code::Blocks I get this error:
codeblocks.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point OpenProcess could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-1-0.dll
I tried the things posted above by LETARTARE, but they did not work for me.
I uninstalled the 20.03 version and went back to the 17.12 version, that version works.
BlueHazzard:
Have you tried to download the dlls and copy them over the dlls in the codeblocks installation?

Indeed, this error is due to the Dr. MinGW crash handler embedded runtime.
Starting from the v0.9 runtime of the Exchndl (Crash Handler), old Windows OSes aren't supported anymore.
This issue is related to the dbghelp.dll library provided by Microsoft which helps to analyze crash dumps.
So if you want to have your C::B 20.03 working on an old machine (like me), you have to grab the Dr. MinGW runtime v0.8.2. You may do that directly on the Dr. MinGW repository or in the C::B source code, indeed, the svn11196 contains the v.0.8.2 runtime. As soon you have downloaded the files in the bin directory, just replace the files in your C::B installation.
If I'm posting this, it's because I have a suggestion:
Would it possible to use the v0.8.2 runtime for the win32 version, as the C::B 32-bit version is out-dated anyway?
In that way, all the 32-bit C::B releases will still be compatible with Windows XP.
Of course, for the 64-bit version, we can still use the most recent version of the Exchndl library.
I did this strategy for my own C::B release (i.e. v0.8.2 for 32-bit and latest for 64-bit).
Thank you very much!
