Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Support

[morchela]

I downloaded the latest ver (0.3.10) and when executing it appears a message saying "The procedure entry point GetCurrentPackageFullName could not be located in the dynamic link library DLL KERNEL32.dll". I don't know what that means and 0.3.9 works perfectly. It could be related to the fact that I use Win7? Someone using latter Win has this issue? Thanks.

Interesting... I'll spin up a Windows 7 VM and see if there's anything I can do within reason. Thanks for reporting this! I can't make any promises, as Windows 7 has been unsupported by Microsoft and many other developers for about 3 years now. It's possible that Qt6 may not be compatible.

As it turns out, Qt6 doesn't support Windows 7 anymore. I'm curious if Windows 8 and 8.1 is the same.

For those wanting to build a Qt5 build from source, you can do this pretty easily by modifying the Compile_Level-Headed.sh Unix build script and do the following:

• Insert the line "sed -i 's/Qt6/Qt5/g' CMakeLists.txt" (no quotes) before each "cd build"
• Change "cp -rf /mingw64/share/qt6/plugins/* ./Qt" to "cp -rf /mingw64/share/qt5/plugins/* ./Qt"

Here is a Qt5 build of v0.3.10. Download it and change the extension from .zip to .7z (GitHub doesn't like .7z posted in comments for some reason). Give this a shot and let me know if it works. Bear in mind that I don't plan on supporting Qt5 going forward, so upgrading down the line may be a good idea if possible.

It works fine so far. Thanks for the quick answer.

It looks like Windows 8.1 is also affected by this. Granted, it is also no longer supported by Microsoft and most developers. However, Qt5 builds work fine on Windows 8.1, just like Windows 7.
