What worked for me was the following:
Get a Windows 7 python version on https://github.com/adang1345/PythonWin7
Get the standard windows Deluge installer version on https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download
Get the file:https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-wi ... -0.3.1.zip
Install python.
Install Deluge.
Copy the .dll included in api-ms-win-core-path-blender-0.3.1.zip in the Deluge directory.
Any way, thanks for this information, i can update to 2.1.1 from the 2.0.4-50 Windows 7 x86 made a while ago by mhertz.

I'm sorry buddy, I'm pretty sure you only needed your last step and that's it, atleast last I tried some years back.

I was about to edit in that direction, yesterday after initially posting, but thought you could just ask for help if in doubt.

@all, use fix variation 2 or 3 in thread, imho, unless actually needing python itself, for seperate non-end-user dev stuff, in which case fix 1 appropriate. Doesn't hurt irregardless - just more bloated.

Thanks for posting your steps though :)

I don't understand what you mean by fix viariation 2 or 3, i looked at the other posts in this thread, and don't see a "fix variation 2 (or 3)" text in any message.
Anyway, do you mean i don't need to install python, but just need to install deluge and copy the dll ?
I'll try this evening when back home.

Sorry indeed, little clumsy in my vocabulary there. Yes, as you said - second and third posted fix, chronologically(so post #2 and #7 in thread), not directly labeled - Vorts posted fix, or mine posted, and Vort's link has a releases section with a zip of the dll needed, to place in deluge's install dir, in x32 and x64 as you found(and so just posting that for others).

Ok, just tested, i removed python and it's working, so indeed no need for the Windows 7 custom python version.
Just the dll in the Deluge directory. Didn't thought it would be "so easy".

Thanks for verifying and posting back buddy, appreciated :)

(The full win7 unofficial python builds from adang1345 only works on win7 because includes said dll by nalexandru in first place - it also removes a check in the exe installer builds which tests if trying install it on win7, but python.dll/exe itself don't have that check.)
