1.6 not working on Windows Vista

I finally got around to installing 1.6 on my old Windows Vista machine and now I am unable to start up the Serviio console. 1.5.2 works, but not 1.6

I get an error about "the procedure entry point shell_notifyicongetrect". After some Googling, I see Electron doesn't work on Vista or XP.

I reinstalled 1.5.2 and I'm back in business.

Any suggestions on getting 1.6 on this Vista machine?

Thanks

You don't need Electron to access the console - it's there for convenience imho for those that are used to having a console app.

From your favourite browser, go to http://localhost:23423/console.

This will enable you to use 1.6 until (and if - given its non-essential) zip looks at the Electron issue.
