Description

Hello,

I start rustdesk-1.3.3-x86_64.exe to update my old version and get immediately a error-windows:

Der Prozedureinspringpunkt "GetHostNameW" wurde in der DLL "WS2_32.dll" nicht gefunden.

My system:
windows 7 ultimate x64, German

v1.3.2 works pretty well.

thanks in advance
R@iner

Research direction

Start by reproducing the launch failure with rustdesk-1.3.3-x86_64.exe on Windows 7 Ultimate x64, then compare it with version 1.3.2. Investigate the reported GetHostNameW lookup failure in WS2_32.dll; done means identifying the compatibility cause and confirming whether the newer executable can start on the reported system.
