Installation and bluetooth issues - quattj - 02-13-2023
I have been running dolphin-master-5.0-12716-x64 on Windows 7 Pro (64 bit). I just upgraded my computer and attempted to use my new on-board bluetooth for passthrough for the WiiMotes, but so far am not having any luck. I am still running Win 7, now on a ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II with Ryzen 5600x. The bluetooth device is RZ608. I know I had to jump through hoops to get my old USB bluetooth dongle to work (including installing the old Toshiba USB stack). I don't remember the exact process, or if it has been updated with the newer versions of Dolphin.
I decided to try updating to dolphin-master-5.0-18498-x64, but I can not run it. If I try to load it I get
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)."
If I try to run dolphintool, I get
"The procedure entry point GetProcessInformation could not be loaded in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL"
I have installed the latest Visual C++ redistributable from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
Does Dolphin still work on Win 7? Any suggestions on how to fix these issues?

Dolphin dropped Windows 7 support mid last year.
