Whenever I try to start latest version of KATE editor on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit I get this error message:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005).
What is the reason of this error and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance. 
IIRC Qt6 doesn’t support Windows 7/8 anymore so you need to get an older version which still uses Qt5.

Thank you for your response.
Can you please tell me which KATE version was the last version that used Qt v5 and where can I get the setup file for Windows 7 64-bit?
Actually, I’m not sure where to find a Qt5 build.
On Index of /ci-builds/utilities/kate, the oldest available release is 24.02 which happens to be the first Qt6 build. You’d need to find a 23.x or older version.
But I don’t know where to find those, sorry.

It’s okay. Thank you very much for your response.
Looking at the git commits for Kate, the latest release that could be built for Qt 5 is 23.08 as its CMakeLists.txt file still has references to Qt 5. This release was before the KDE Plasma 6 release, so it was built for Qt 5.

After searching for one hour I couldn’t find the setup program of KATE 23.08 for Windows 7 64-bit.
So I downloaded Qt 5 toolchain and the source code of KATE 23.08. Then I build the setup program myself using NSIS and it’s working perfectly!

Thank you everyone who responded to me.
Now where and how should I upload this setup program so that anyone in future having the same problem can solve it themselves by just installing KATE v23.08?
