The installer has been updated. Now the game complains about missing xinput1_4.dll and will not launch.

inconceivable... especially given that the game is declared compatible for Windows 7.

Tough luck..

Still it's reasonable to say WHICH game since GOG in its wisdom dumps garbazillions of unrelated (other than by the brand) games into one forum... exactly like in this case. So people won't need to click on your link to actually understand what the f are you talking about.

Unless there's something obvious that I'm just oblivious to I don't think it's reasonable to expect me to know how many games point to this forum. When I follow a link from a store page I expect it to go the forum for that specific product.

The one I'm talking about is this one:
http://www.gog.com/game/the_bards_tale

let me see... Maybe the fact that the series has started in the 80s? Or the fact that the latest game been released relatively recently (built on the UE4 engine)? Or maybe it's that if you take into account all the remakes and remaster, the total count of various releases would amount to something like a dozen...

let me see... I bought the game nearly 10 years ago. Didn't know that it was part of a series. Haven't kept up with any developments until I saw that there was an update in my library. Then there's the absolutely baffling idea that if I click on the forum link on a store page that says "The Bard's Tale" and the forum says "The Bard's Tale" that people still might not know what game I'm here for.
