DCSW crash in windows 7 after activated BETA versions in STEAM

[IIIJG52_Otto_]

Open Beta version was running perfectly in steam last week, but after last updated (ver 2.7 supposed) the game show a error about missing DLL library "api-ms-downlevel-kernel32-l2-0.dll"

DLL library was found and installed from a internet repository and now game show the error "0xc000007b" .
After googling a bit i found that this error is usually caused by discrepancies in MS Visual C++ version installed. I have installed the proper VC++ versions for x86 and 64 bits from MS website without success.

I´ve read in this forum that standalone version 2.7 is unsupported by Windows 7 but there is any notice in steam about it.
Is there any solution without install a new win 10 and re-install one Terabyte of CAD-CAM, video editing, etc software that i've properly installed in win 7 from years ago??.

Maybe try dual boot. I know it's pita, but I do not see an other way.

You can install upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10, test your software, and then rollback in case one of your software doesn't work.

the installation of win 10 losing my today software configurations and keys would be my ultimate option, ... next year in a new machine perhaps.
