Sorry. Windows 7 hasn't been intentionally supported for a few months, already.

https://github.com/PazerOP/tf2_bot_detector/releases/tag/1.2.0.798 (January 17, 2021)

In an effort to use current best practices for Windows development the installer and updater required the usage of the WinRT API. Unfortunately this API is not available on Windows 7. The work required to support a Windows 7 version and a Windows 10 version, including alternate code paths, testing, and user support is simply not something that the single developer is able to support.

Windows 7 has reached "End Of Life" (EOL), which means Microsoft is no longer providing security or feature updates for it. New security vulnerabilities discovered in the OS will not be patched, bugs will never be fixed, and it is strongly recommended to upgrade to Windows 10 as soon as possible. According to the Steam Hardware Survey, Windows 7 now accounts for less than 4% of all PCs running Steam, and is on a steady decline.

That's too bad. My notebook couldn't handle Win 10 unfortunately... Well, it's been a wild ride then) Thanks so much for the program @PazerOP Will continue to fight against bots manually.

Actually, I've compiled the program, so it's being able to work on Windows 7 right now) image

Did you make changes to the code? Or just recompiling it was enough?

@PazerOP , here's the diff: https://pastebin.com/9neY1hQ3 My changes are pretty rough, but they're actually working. I've played with it this evening, and all seems to be alright

UPD: I've removed some submodules false changes (which has 0 edits), so the diff header might differ unfortunately. I can send non-edited stuff so you won't be messed up with this
