FC 29923-2022-08-03 win-conda doesn't run (Win7)

Post by Piero69 »

i downloaded FC 29923-2022-08-03 win-conda but when unzipped the exe doesn't run... i don't get any error but the application looks like pending in the process.

the previuos version 29485-2022-07-28 runs perfectly

Hello Piero69,

yes it was also a shock for me. It did require the api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll in my case. I have downloaded the dll copied it into the FreeCAD's bin folder and it failed. (https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 26#p615026)

You may solve the problem with a modified 64bit api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll. Here is the download link: https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-wi ... K/releases
Just place the 64bit "api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll" in FreeCAD's bin folder, and you should be good, hopefully. Please try it out maybe this is the issue.

Cheers.

SOLVED!

The modified DLL's release 0.3.1
https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-wi ... K/releases

To make FreeCAD py310 work with Windows 7 you have to copy the files as followed:

64 bit api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll to C:\Windows\System32
32 bit api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll to C:\Windows\SysWOW64

or

64 bit api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll to ...\FreeCAD\bin
