Program Won't Run on Windows 7
I don't actually know if it's intended to run on Windows 7 at all, but I didn't see any OS version requirements listed anywhere. I'm also just generally curious if it's possible for it to run on Windows 7 with some additional user-side bandaids, even if it's not explicitly intended for it.
When I initially started the program, it complained about a missing api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll, which I added to my system manually. After that, when I attempt to start it, Command Prompt opens and immediately closes with the message
Error loading Python DLL: 'C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp_MEI123456\python311.dll'. No error messages generated. FormatMessageW: The parameter is incorrect. LoadLibrary: PyInstaller: FormatMessageW failed.
The mentioned AppData folder always has a different numerical identifier, and none of the folders exist, although I notice similar folders do exist in the AppData folder of the Windows 10 PC where I run DCEF.
Expected Behavior
The program would run.
Actual Behavior
The program does not run.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Attempt to run the program.

True, the program won't run on Windows 7 (I have tested it). Windows 7 is end of life operating system and won't be supported.
That said, client side should run on Windows 7. But you will need to host the server on other computer.
