Hi Jurgen,

Windows 7 again (but still only 64bit).
I think most Win 7 users would benefit from simply having a link to
whatever the latest release is that works for Win 7.
Something like 10% of all Windows users are Windows 7 after all -
https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/windows/desktop/worldwide
- By my maths that's about 3 times more (in absolute numbers) than there
are Linux users. So that's a lot of users who can't readily download
QGIS (as it's not clear which one they should be downloading other than
"not the latest").
Thanks,
Jonathan

What's the last version that will work on Windows 7? Ideally an LTS.
Also, given there are still many millions of Windows 7 users out there, it
may be worth linking to it explicitly as well.
Try installing from OSGeo4W, but include the api-ms-win-core-path-HACK package.
That should make python work on Windows 7 again (but still only 64bit).
