Anyone know which is the latest version to actually work with windows 7 and where I can download legacy versions? I can get it to install but it doesn't run. Any advice appreciated.

Can I run VS Code on Windows 7?
Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 in January, 2020 and no longer provides security updates. VS Code desktop versions starting with 1.71 (August 2022) will no longer run on Windows 7 and you will need to upgrade to a newer Windows version to use later versions of VS Code.
VS Code will no longer provide product updates or security fixes on Windows 7 and VS Code version 1.70.3 is the last available release for Windows 7 users. You can learn more about upgrading your Windows version at support.microsoft.com.
I was getting the same issue so I downloaded the 1.70.2 and it started working.
