I need to stop for today, but I’m going to merge #1473 and release 21.0.1 now as it at least moves the base required Windows back (to 8.1, I think). I’ll look at fixing it for Windows 7 as soon as I can (or if someone else knows how, that would be awesome!).

@minrk Dropping by as the v22 fixed the problem in our case! Thanks!
