Windows installer (2.1.0) does not work with Windows 7 #8

Windows installer (2.1.0) does not work with Windows 7 because it is compiled with Python 3.9 which does not support Windows 7 anymore. Compiling the installer with Python 3.8 should fix the issue.

I know this doesn't sound very retro of me, but I do not want to support ancient operating systems like Windows 7. You can still get it running yourself by installing Python 3.8 manually and running pip3 install ialauncher. Feel free to open a new issue if that doesn't work!

If someone else has the same problem you can also install ialauncher normally, then replace the Python3.9 DLLs in the ialauncher directory with ones from the Python W7 compatibility fork

I packed just the DLLs from the python package for your convenience. These match the 2.1.1 version of IALauncher (Python version 3.9.1150.1013) python3.9.1_w7_DLLs.zip
