2.31.0 stopped working on Windows 7, because Rust language developers betrayed Windows 7 users by removing the feature to build binaries for this OS. The current workaround is to set a legacy compilation chain like @ozwaldorf did with Lutgen-RS. Please, do.

Unfortunately, it just skipped from my radar but I'm fine with sticking with 1.77.2 for a while just for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, i686-pc-windows-msvc and x86_64-pc-windows-gnu only.

However, keep in mind that MS already stopped supporting Windows 7 (also for extended users until the beginning of 2023).
So I don't know how long we should keep supporting an unmaintained platform. Maybe until next year give users time to update their platforms and also provide them instructions to build SWS from the source for that platform (which should be trivial). Our MSRV is 1.74.0 so it should not be a problem for them.

Please file an issue and let me know your thoughts on this.
