3 years ago Do you happen to have that link? Because I did update the build from Python 3.6 to 3.9 so that sounds like the issue.
Could you see if installing the 2019 VS Redistribution x64 fixes it - direct link

3 years ago Here's the bug ticket for python 3.9: https://bugs.python.org/issue41412 Installing the 2019 VS Redistribution x64 did not fix it. I think Python 3.8.7 should work.

3 years ago Ah guess they are just fully dropping support for old windows versions. I will add a build version for Windows 7 / 2012 for next release as I don't think I use anything 3.9+ yet, was just future-proofing.
However it will be denoted as legacy version, and won't have as regular of testing by myself at least.

3 years ago Added builds in 4.0.2 to address this https://github.com/cdgriffith/FastFlix/releases/tag/4.0.2.
The "download latest" will still point to the wrong one as a heads up, as it internally does not understand the difference.
When starting the FastFlix.exe (4.0.1) on Windows Server 2008 R2, I get a system error popup stating: "The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-path|-1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
According to google search, also Window 7 systems have the same problem, as this DLL is available on Windows Server 2012+ and Windows 8+. Found a bug ticket for Python 3.9, which does not support Win 2008/7, might this be the cause?
Can this be fixed?
Version 3.4.3 runs fine on Windows Server 2008 R2.
