Need help installing BalenaEtcher on windows 7

BalenaEtcher won’t install on windows 7 need help. after installation it just opens a white screen

I’m beginning to suspect that the last version that worked on Windows 7 was 1.7.9 (or maybe a bit later, but not 1.8.x),

Hi there,
until we fix the new versions you can still use the 1.7.9 which works on 32bit systems (like your windows 7)
Download it from the original source on github: Release v1.7.9 · balena-io/etcher · GitHub
especially the files

  • balenaEtcher-Portable-1.7.9.exe
  • balenaEtcher-Setup-1.7.9.exe
    are for you (on windows)

you probably want to turn off auto updates (in the settings of etcher) for the time being so your version won’t update to a non 32bit one
