How do I download a windows version?

[sere3925sere]

There are a lots of files in releases, but I'm not sure which I should download. What is the difference between those:

VSCodium-ia32-1.72.2.22289.msi
VSCodium-ia32-updates-disabled-1.72.2.22289.msi
VSCodium-win32-arm64-1.72.2.22289.zip
vscodium-reh-win32-x64-1.72.2.22289.tar.gz
vscodium-reh-win32-ia32-1.72.2.22289.tar.gz
VSCodium-win32-x64-1.72.2.22289.zip
VSCodium-x64-1.72.2.22289.ms
VSCodium-x64-updates-disabled-1.72.2.22289.msi
VSCodiumSetup-arm64-1.72.2.22289.exe
VSCodiumSetup-ia32-1.72.2.22289.exe
VSCodiumSetup-x64-1.72.2.22289.exe
VSCodiumUserSetup-arm64-1.72.2.22289.exe
VSCodiumUserSetup-ia32-1.72.2.22289.exe
VSCodiumUserSetup-x64-1.72.2.22289.exe

I guess everything with arm64 is for mobile phones, ia32 is 32bit build, x64 is 64bit build. What is reh and UserSetup though? Msi files are apparently almost like exe files, with extra benefit of possibility of silent remote installation without requiring user input, useful for some.

Main page also mentions installing VSCodium through either Windows Package Manager, Chocolatey or Scoop, what's the difference between those?

There is an unanswered questions here, seems very related to this.

What's the difference between VSCodium, VSCodiumSetup and VSCodiumUserSetup installation files?

Since when github has discussions tab in addition to issues? Probably 2020/2021.

• REH is Remote Extension Host, normally not needed;
• For anything else, just reference to: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows .
• Also, VSCode's non-MSI setup is now Inno Setup, which supports slient setup on it own if needed.

Question answered :-) More answer in the linked discussion.

Just seen that extra part: in general - the package managers will nearly always install silently (often with the msi package), often disables updates via application, commonly updating all software it installed itself.
If you use one of these, then you know, otherwise you may want to check those out and think about the question on using those.

There should be links for the major versions on VSCodium website, no need to point to a page that has over a hundred versions.

Good point.
