I realize it clearly states in the readme that only Windows 10/11 is supported but if an easy opportunity arises to compile for older Windows it would be greatly appreciated.
I oddly cannot tell what language it is using but the error thrown is the missing "api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll" which is often seen with python 3.9 and some of the newest other language builds.
Typically the workaround is trivial, just microsoft being obnoxious, so if plausible it would expand the worldwide userbase.
Thanks for considering.
adding: ah it is indeed python, so there are two possibilities, to compile with 3.8.6 or to use one of the python 3.9 forks that trivially adds older windows compatibility
But I've also now found some projects that may allow me to work around the problem from my side instead of you having to change the compiler, will work on it when I have time
