记解决“Windows 7 下wakatime插件无法记录coding时间的错误” 的过程记录

wakatime是一款可以记录你代码编写时间的优秀插件（至少我是这么认为的），它在诸如VS、VS Code、IDEA等主流IDE（编辑器）下都有相应的扩展。

我的笔记本电脑是Windows 7 64位旗舰版的系统，在VS Code下安装了该扩展，而且按照官方提示的步骤配好了API Key。但是它并不能够正常使用。

而我另一台安装了Windows 10 64位2016LTSB版系统的笔记本电脑，其VS Code上的wakatime就能准确记录coding时间。难道wakatime现在已经不支持Win7了？

带着疑问，我打开Console，发现报错了：

[WakaTime][ERROR] Unknown Error (4294967295); Check your C:\Users\vm-win7.wakatime.log file for more details

这里一共是3段错误信息，其中第3段是告诉你wakatime出错了，去查看日志。然而我并没有在提示的目录下找到这个文件。第一段告诉你xxx目录下的pyi_rth_pkgres.py脚本不存在。我看了，确实不存在——连C:\Users\travis目录都不存在！

好吧我们来看看第2段，它实际上说的是一个wakatime-cli.exe执行命令失败了。

……

其实在今年（2020年）的早些时候，VS Code下的扩展还没有这个东西。wakatime是用Python开发的，本质是使用自带的Python来运行一个python文件，再附加以必要参数，从而使关键信息发送到wakatime的服务端API，服务端再记录你的编程信息（所以这玩意儿有不可避免的搜集用户个人信息的嫌疑，对个人隐私比较看重的朋友还是不要用它了）。而今年3、4月份的时候，所有的版本扩展都改用了集成的wakatime-cli.exe来替代以前大喇喇地用Python直接执行脚本的方法（实际上还是跑py脚本，只不过这个程序里把执行命令都封装好了），而且自带Python的版本也升到了3.7（现在已经是3.8了）

我打开cmd命令行，原封不动地执行了该命令。结果还是一样，不过乱码的部分变成了“参数错误”。这是它所能提示给我的信息。

等等。

既然wakatime是用Python 3.8跑的，那我先看看Python3.8是怎么安装的……

结果获得了一个重要信息：

Python 3.8需要kb2533623更新才能正常运行。

而Windows 7，并没有预装这个更新。Windows 10能跑，想必是已经有了。

立即下载并安装kb2533623更新，重启计算机，好了，现在能正常记录编程时间了。
