I also agree with Michel; I wouldn't invest a lot of effort in making it run on W7. The 32-bit executable ran fine, so there's a easy workaround.

Hi

Thanks for the reports.

I did some testing on MSWindows 7 and can reproduce GDI32.dll issue. Strange enough if the 32 bit build works on the same MSWindows 64  environment. The same problem exists at least from the start of this year. As Michel already pointed out there are reports of the same issue with other software from years ago.    
It looks as a Microsoft bug.

I can't reproduce this. Basically it is an unzip of the files, so I don't see a reason to slow down.

I verified that the executables were all modified today, so I think they are the correct ones (I'm not reporting on an earlier/flawed versio

The menu is just a list of links. I will investigate, but it is not high on my priority list.

Stay save

I've tried the 64bits version and everything worked without a problem. I'm using Windows 10 for the tests. It seems this is a problem caused by both 64bits and Windows 7, as I could find other errors in other projects, like: https://github.com/lightspark/lightspark/issues/454

Since Windows 7 is no longer supported, maybe one of our dependencies dropped suport for it?

Harry,

The 64-bit version won't start on my 64-bit Windows 7:

I'm installing the 32-bit version now...
