Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version: 24.08.1
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
Hello, I just tried to install kdenlive on my moms laptop which has Windows 7.
Before the installation i looked up if Windows 7 is even supported and the
Official site says it is. So i installed the latest Kdenlive 24 version and ran
it, to my surprise i had an Error. "Unable to find an entry point named
'GetCurrentPackageFullName' in DLL 'kernel32.dll'". I searched a bit and found
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/why-do-i-see-the-following-message-the-procedure/6093157f-4755-4143-aad2-002517eb0b78
Where someone said that GetCurrentPackageFullName was added in Windows 8.1,
After a bit of thinking i looked up if Qt6 has Windows 7 support. Nope is does
not. But Qt5 has. So Kdenlive 23 works
TL;DR
Since Kdenlive 24 ported to Qt6 (which has no Windows 7 support), It does not
work on Windows 7.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Kdenlive 24 (on Windows 7)
2. Run Kdenlive 24
OBSERVED RESULT
Crash :c
EXPECTED RESULT
No Crash :D
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 7
Qt Version: 6
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please remove Windows 7 support from the docs. For at least say that only
Kdenlive 23 and below support Windows 7
