If you are using CSS HTML Validator 2022/v22 on Windows 7 (still an officially supported OS for 2022/v22) and get an error message like this when checking JavaScript:
"The procedure entry point GetHostNameW could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll."
The problem is due to a version of node.exe that is not compatible with Windows 7.
An older version of node.exe (v14.17.6) that should work with Windows 7 can be found here:

Please see the Windows7FixReadMe.txt file in the above ZIP for installation instructions. Installation simply involves replaces your node.exe file with the one in the ZIP file.
Do not apply the above fix if you are using Windows 8/8.1/10/11. Instead, continue to use the newer node.exe file.
