Can not run ShortCircuit on Win7

[rossos]

Downloaded latest 0.5.0 executable and replaced the old (0.4.x) executable in the same folder. Trying to run the new file gives me two errors in a row, and the application does not launch:

System error: The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.

Fatal error detected: Error loading Python DLL 'C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\..\python39.dll' LoadLibrary: The specified module could not be found.

I am trying to run this on a Windows 7 machine, which I assume is the source of this error.

Damn, I hoped this won't be the case. I'll tackle this ASAP. Thank you for report!

About api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll:
I couldn't find it from official sources – I've checked Windows 10 SDK, vcredist 2015-2019, vcredist 2015.
So I had to download it from 3rd party source, but seemingly it is original dll – https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e39ca111d81e6e5d90cf13fa0aee525d8a2740b84d2c5cd378dd69e4f79f8b0f/detection.
I've added it to build script in a88a38c.

Regarding python39.dll LoadLibrary failure – it seems this one should be related to previous one even tho apparently Python 3.9 dropped support for Windows 7.

@rossos, can you please test https://github.com/secondfry/shortcircuit/releases/tag/v0.5.1-pre.1?
If it would still fail to load, I will just make Python 3.8 release for Windows 7.

Looking for anyone to test https://github.com/secondfry/shortcircuit/releases/tag/v0.5.1-pre.1 on Windows 7.

[rossos]

@secondfry Yes, the linked 0.5.1 loads for me as expected - no errors.

Thank you, closing the issue.
