From my notes (untested):

Any chance you could test and let us know if this workaround works?

There are already multiple versions compiled with QT5 and fully working on Win7.

First one you can grab here: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/405407-NON-OFFICIAL-Windows-builds-of-MKVtoolnix/page3#post2672418

Second one here: https://github.com/jpsdr/MKVToolnix-QT5-Windows-7

The first version seems to be updated regularly and available few hours or days after official release. It is opensource, so everybody can do this.

Mkvtoolnix 69 does not work in Win 7 and 8.1. The developers have added a lot of new system calls and libraries like api-ms..., which are not present in either 7 or 8.1. VxKex also did not help, there is no system call in user33.dll, so I couldn't run it in any way mkvtoolnix-gui.exe. mkvmerge.exe starts after adding api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll, so that anyone who uses the console version can continue to use it.

First unofficial build with QT5 for Win7/8.1 is here: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/405407-NON-OFFICIAL-Windows-builds-of-MKVtoolnix-do-they-exist#post2663774

It doesn't work, there are no errors, it just doesn't start. VxKex didn't help either.

I've been able to run Calibre 6.1 on Windows 7 x64 using this method:

1. Download Calibre msi file from homepage and patch the installator using Orca to be able to install it on Win7

2. Copy and replace these QT6 Win7 compatible files from here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/133002/qt-creator-6-0-1-and-qt-6-2-2-running-on-windows-7

3. Use VxKex to run Calibre
