Hi @tyyzqmf . Thanks for reaching out to us. Can you try and build this commit and confirm if the windows build fails or not.

Do you mean to run it through Docker? But we need to support scenarios without Docker in Windows systems, so we need to compile executable files.

No. I meant to build local proxy from source, not the latest one, but this one 7aac899 so we can confirm that this is the commit since when the windows builds are failing

Got it! I have successfully compiled the artifact by referencing github actions , Thank you.

By the way, there are 2 suggestions:

1. Update the document: windows-localproxy-build
2. Why not release the artifact built by CI, but let everyone compile it from the source code?

@tyyzqmf The documentation has been updated. And we fixed the Windows CI build, so the latest artifacts are also released now and can be found here. Thanks for your contribution. Closing the issue.
