The reason for this behavior lies in the fact that the developers of Go language betrayed Windows 7 users by removing the compilation option for this OS. So the latest working version of your program here is 0.6. Please, add a separate build that uses an earlier version of the compiler, as @schollz did with his Croc.

Hello!

Microsoft stopped Windows 7 support in 2020 and this is the reason why Win7 is not supported anymore by the Go team.
I don't see any betrayal here and I am generally moving along with this.

I'll see what I can do when it's time to cut the next release though.
