I believe I got all I need, though I couldn't test it on a real Win7.
In attach the updated project (I think I followed all your directions) together with a Release build of the dll and a tentative readme.txt mentioning also the alternative solution of the registry patch (registry script included).
Any feedback or improvement would be welcome.

Looks good imo, but you've included the wrong .reg file.
This is the recommended fix by UCyborg: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G45mk_NUtUKGkC2TmREqGx9jhbUlN1RU/view (one .reg creates the keys and other deletes them). The link comes from his post here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/179464-old-games-failing-to-launch-and-how-to-fix-it/#comment-1167279
I don't recommend using the "Games"="localhost" approach, see: https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/thread/0e06ba4d48/?page=1#c703 and https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/thread/0e06ba4d48/?page=1#c703/fe6a/e926
Remember that you may also need to flush the SDB cache for the registry changes to take effect. https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/thread/0e06ba4d48/#93cb/aa2b/c8d5/362b/5586/b64a/370c/4ca9
Ok, I hope that this time I made everyone happy. Well, if not, please edit the files yourselves!
