Missing DLL crashes 10x #1072

Open kayakakan opened 2 years ago

Windows 7, 10x can't launch because api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing. I happen to have that dll. I got it from https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-win-core-path-HACK. Adding it to the root installation of 10x resolves the issue. I believe it's a requirement from python, and that the dll was introduced in Windows 8. I'll let you decide on the course of actions from these informations, and hope it doesn't lead to a drop of the support for Windows 7. Thank you for your work regardless of your choice.

It's difficult to know what to do about this. If I include that dll then it may break for non-Win7 users. Glad you got it working though. I'll try and keep Win7 working as much as possible.

Yeah, having multiple versions of a dll in a computer doesn't seem like a good idea. Is there a way to let the knowledge on how to keep a Windows 7 version working, clearly visible for future users, like in an FAQ? I would be okay to have the issue closed for now if that were the case.

Yes, I'll keep this issue open to remind me to add documentation.

Thank you, that's enough for me. That'll teach me to use a deprecated OS.
