For those interested in running OpenAI's Codex desktop application on Windows, I wrote a script that extracts the app bundle from the macOS installer, replaces the mac-specific native modules with Windows-compatible builds, and launches everything through a Windows Electron runtime. You'll need Node.js installed and the macOS installer file from OpenAI.

So it’s not really failing to install, it’s failing on first launch when setting up local storage. A couple quick things…

I have not tried using Codex app for Windows so can only infer that if it works with Codex or Claude Code via the CLI then it will also work correctly using VSCode extensions for Codex and/or Claude Code.
