Missing api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll

[jwc1015]

When I try to run the launcher, I get a message stating that api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing.
This has only happened after the launcher updated to version 1.5.3.
To Reproduce
Laptop with windows 7.
Update launcher to version 1.5.3.
Run.
Desktop

• OS: Windows 7 (64-Bit)

I just saw that version 1.5.1 dropped support for 'old versions of Windows' and 'might not work with unpatched Windows 7/8. However, I am unsure of what is meant by patched Windows 7 - just a completely updated version? Or is there some kind of non-Microsoft patch that is being referred to? My copy of Windows 7 has all of the official updates from Microsoft to my knowledge.

I tried to reinstall back to 1.5.1, but the issue still persisted.

I see some python 3.9 in folder names and this version no longer works under Windows 7.

If win 7 no more then as someone wise said "maybe its time to update"

The sad part is I have no reason to update other than stuff stopping to work. I use Win 10 at work and I see no benefit over Win 7.

Latest version of Python (used in the latest launcher version) does not support Windows 7 or earlier versions.

Only the version before that and earlier works - 1.5.1 was the one that removed compatibility.

Thus, unless this is changed I will not be updating the launcher, sadly.

We'll try to see if we can support Windows 7 with the next release.

Ah, ok! Thank you for the quick response; have a great day!

You should retry with version >= 1.5.4
