Check if your CPU supports AVX instruction set. If it doesn't - you need to use my SSE2 build.

I'm working on Issue #1970 to avoid this kind of thing, but running into an issue that it's not straightforward to make an additional exclusion for the SSE2 builds.
@Nuck-TH would you mind terribly to keep a local install patch for your SSE2 builds, so you can bypass the check I'm building in? Or maybe you have an idea how to tackle this better?

Can you elaborate on what is "local install path"?

local install path
No, a patch, not path, i.e. you comment out the check in the source code of the installer before building or similar

Not got a clue on how to check my CPU. I use windows 7 on an HP 64 bit computer. Not going to try reinstalling the 64 bit browser again for the faults page as it does not get that far. Already spent too much time trying to find out what was wrong before giving up and using the 32 bit version that seems to be working fine.

Help -> troubleshooting information, check "CPU capabilities" listed near the top.

I can, but why not make build system leverage it?

We could, but I thought it'd become messy.
I'll see if I can think of something that isn't too convoluted
