We have one Windows 7 32-bit Bareos client, and I found that after upgrading from 22.1.4 to 22.1.5 the Bareos File Backup Service service wasn't registered. Running bareos-fd.exe manually gives an error.

I (thankfully?) don't have another Windows 7 system to test on, so wanted to put this out there to see if anyone else has run into this before opening an issue on it.

Same on Windows 7 64-bit. I will submit a Github issue.

While I totally understand the requirement to have a Filedaemon for
Windows 7 (even if it is long time EOL), I don't see how we could
support Windows 7 in newer builds. Your can - of course - continue to
use one of the older versions.
The same problem will probably occur when you try 21.1.10 or 23.0.3 on
Windows 7.

However, I have heard that people built custom DLLs to support Blender
and Python 3.9 on Windows 7. Maybe you can grab one of those to make it
work.

Best Regards,
Andreas
