alacritty: Alacritty crashes on Windows 7 on startup

I’ve downloaded the two binaries from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jwilm/alacritty/build/job/4ampw5l309pb0aox/artifacts. Not sure how to run the application but it crashed on double click. Here is the output when I use -vvv switch from cmd:

C:\Users\Pooya\Downloads>alacritty.exe -vvv

@zacps I don’t have msvc toolchain on my current machine. However I can test it on another machine or download the toolchain on this one later. Will post here when I do it. Thanks 😃
