Edit by @MichaelEischer:

Latest version which works on Windows 7 is 0.16.2

Original issue description

Did the new version of Restic 0.16.3 drop support for Windows 7?

Running 0.16.2 worked fine. Updated to 0.16.3 with restic self-update:

C:\Users\tiker>c:\apps\restic\restic.exe self-update
writing restic to c:\apps\restic\restic.exe
find latest release of restic at GitHub
latest version is 0.16.3
download SHA256SUMS
download SHA256SUMS.asc
GPG signature verification succeeded
download restic_0.16.3_windows_amd64.zip
downloaded restic_0.16.3_windows_amd64.zip
saved 25019392 bytes in c:\apps\restic\restic.exe
successfully updated restic to version 0.16.3

After this, all attempts to run restic.exe fail with an error which would appear to be related to compiling issues or dropping support for Windows 7 (which I don't see mentioned in the release notes).

I have manually downloaded the file from the Github release page and attempted to run it, still fails with the following:
