v1.5.0 : error message (Windows 7 64 bit SP1) - after installation of Wasmer 0.17.1

[yellow-panther]

Hello,

after a double mouseclick on wav.exe respectively Windows command script the following indication is shown: procedure entry point "GetSystemTimePreciseASFileTime"was not found (DLL, KERNEL32.dll) - Wasmer 0.17.1 for Windows https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/releases/download/0.17.1/wasmer-windows.exe is installed on my pc

(web app is o.k., of course)

What can be done?

Regards,

Hello, thanks for trying out my chess engine!

When you have Wasmer installed, you can run the engine using the following command (see also step 3 in the Wiki):
wasmer.exe run --backend llvm engine.wasm

This should work with Wasmer version 0.16.2. In Wasmer versions 0.17.0 and 0.17.1 the llvm backend seems to be missing.
I have just opened a bug report for this issue.

With the Wasmer default backend the ELO rating is probably around 300 to 400 ELO lower compared to the WAVM runtime.
With the llvm backend the difference is only around 50 ELO.

In the future I hope to find a better solution for Windows 7 users.
