wt.exe etc from the .zip file all "do nothing" (no errors, not nothing - the commands just end silently)

Not all versions of windows come with the "Store App" you know.

You need Windows 10.0.19041 at a minimum to be able to run the Windows Terminal. We've never supported 17763, since it's missing a bunch of the core technology we depend on.

"core technology", for telnet? You know this comes from 1969, right?

I love the way to deal with shafting old users - just exit() with no messages. Sheesh.

...... what?

The Windows Terminal is not telnet. It's a whole windowed application, with UI elements, and the particular UI stack we're on1 didn't start working till 10.0.18362 at the very earliest.

We haven't added specific error messages to 17763, because that's not a version we officially support. If you'd like to add an error message there, you're more than welcome to add one.

  1. Xaml Islands, for XAML without an app container. We also need reg-free winrt, which was also added in that version of Windows ↩︎
