After updating the app a pop up window is saying that catalog 3.18 is found when 3.17 is spected.
According to:
https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases
3.18 is to be used with 1.2 version.
I have solved the issue by downloading 3.17 and putting it into:
~\Portableapps\StellariumPortable\App\Stellarium\nebulae\default
Win 7 64 bit.
Looks like a Stellarium's bug, should be reported to their team, IMO.

Looks like this is the end of the line for Windows 7/8. Stellarium already dropped support. I was including the older 32-bit release for use on Windows 7/8 and Windows 10 32-bit but using the data files form the newer Stellarium. Looks like it's time to make Stellarium Portable Windows 10/11 64-bit and release a legacy 7/8 version.
Was 1.22.4 working for you?

I'm not using stellarium nowadays, but this is the first time it shows this error window.

This is fixed in 1.22.5 Rev 2. Turns out the team released the 32-bit Qt5 build late. They didn't discontinue it.
