Does this work with Win 7?

Thanks

Win7, SP1, x-64 Appears not. Here is the error message:

DownZemAll.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point CreateEventW could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll.

OK

Most likely the issue is, https://github.com/setvisible/DownZemAll/issues/99.

Seemingly https://github.com/setvisible/DownZemAll/releases/tag/v2.5.8 should work. (Final release before the change to QT6.)

Hi, indeed Qt6 doesn't support Windows 7: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/supported-platforms.html

For me it's too much work to maintain Qt6 and Qt5 together (...Qt5 is very different from Qt6), so I choosed to abandon the Qt5 compatibility. However backward compatibility (in Qt6) is maintained. It permits to build the application whateever the Qt6.x version is (ex: anymone can build it with Qt6.3, Qt6.4, Qt6.5 etc.).

At this point your options are to fork from v2.5.8
