New CPU requirements for PL7.12.0 / PL7.12.0 won't install

I’ve just downloaded the latest update to PL7, v7.12.0 but it won’t install. It gives an error:

It’s not an error that can be worked around either because although my CPU does have SSE4.1, it does not have AVX2, it only has AVX.

Unless I can find a setting to enable AVX2 in the BIOS, which I doubt given the age of this machine, the only fix is for me to purchase a more modern PC. I do plan to make such a purchase, but not until late summer, i.e. not long before Windows 10 reaches end of life.

Until I do, my adventures with PL are limited to PL7.11.1.

Ah! Serves me right for not reading the Read Me. But then, when was the last time anyone every read any instructions? :grin:

Meanwhile, I will await v7.12.1…

v7.12.1 is out, and it installs on my ancient 3rd gen i5 based system without error.

I’m a happy bunny again :rabbit2:
