Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008: This value requires KB2533623 to be installed. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/libloaderapi/nf-libloaderapi-loadlibraryexa
Thank you.

Argh! I miss that. But only Windows 7 SP1 is possible applicable since other OS does not supported by .NET 7
And even that seems to be KB2533623 required for .NET see dotnet/docs#20459
But I hardly can understand is ESU has this patch or not.

Vista and 2008 Server are not in the list of supported OS (at least for .NET 6) (research took too long, at time of answering kant2002 answer was not there)

That should be slated for .NET 8 then. That way Win 7 would be out of support at release date (Nov 2023) and not important anymore.
