Latests builds does not work in Windows 7. What else information is needed?
Installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable 14.21.27702 does not help (both x86 and x64)
Installation of KB2999226 and KB3118401 does not help either.
I had errors with missing Windows library 'mincore' when I tried to compile it (on my Windows 7 box with QT5 and mingw). I found this discussion: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/366730/error-in-dlls-referenced-by-mincorelib.html
So I changed the linker to '-lversion' instead of '-lmincore' and got past it, but still didn't compile all the way. I'm stuck on the speex stuff. I compiled fdk-aac, fftw3, etc. everything (so I thought) but I'm tired again and I'm going to quit for awhile.

Sorry, but the most important problem here is the lack of reaction from developers side.
Even if you make build working, are you sure that developers will even look at your patch?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Just a word to say I'm also frustrated by not being abkle to run the latest DREAM on Windows 7.
The latest one I can find that does run on Windows 7 can't seem to, for example, decode Radio Marty on 7345 kHz.

Looks like MS lied about compatibility: "This reflects the fact that both the runtime libraries and the applications compiled with either version of the compiler are binary compatible." (docs.microsoft.com), "The promise is, that there won’t be any new, incompatible Visual C runtimes anymore for each Visual Studio product generation." (poweruser.blog). Not a surprise.
But anyway, I am 100% sure that it is possible to make binary 100% compatible with Windows 7 with MSVC2017.
Here is one of the hints [You can use default platform version for windows 7 // Alisa Ma [MSFT]]. Most likely, more correct solutions also exists.
Another opinion: To target Windows 7 or Windows Vista, use the value 8.1, since Windows SDK 8.1 is backward compatible to those platforms. In addition, you should define the appropriate value for _WIN32_WINNT in targetver.h. For Windows 7, that's 0x0601. See Modifying WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT. (docs.microsoft.com)
So two things worth trying: setting WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT variables to 0x0601 and switching to Target Platform 8.1.

FYI, there is DREAM version on Windows10 that can decode xHE-AAC.
