A few FYIs:
The author of MKVToolnix again switched to using QT6 with v69.0.0 which rendered the program unusable with Windows 7, 8 and respective server version.
The reason he is using QT6 is because he can and wants to, there is no real programing or compatibility reason. That's his perrogative.
Essentially, if you are a new or long time user of the program and don't want, need or can't update your OS, you're SOL as per the author. Obviously, he doesn't care about the amount of users this move may affect or cost him.
The "https://mkvtoolnix.download/windows/continuous/64-bit/69.0.0/" depository did briefly have 69.0.007 versions that were compiled with QT5 (V5.15.5), probably by mistake, which work perfectly with Windows 7/8, but were quickly replaced with same named files compiled with QT6 (V6.3.1).
If you have the following 69.0.007 versions bearing the below SHA-1, they will work with Windows 7/8 and respective server version:
B5D5E22968F947558BFB100EF06D37A1FB3BC7C4 mkvtoolnix-32-bit-69.0.0-revision-007-ga64005aa6-setup.exe
5F8BB12A7C9FA214E4B63BCFC4EF020E27186A4F mkvtoolnix-32-bit-69.0.0-revision-007-ga64005aa6.7z
254911C993E8685AE514A8B7FD789C200EA6E3C4 mkvtoolnix-64-bit-69.0.0-revision-007-ga64005aa6-setup.exe
86B4EEDFA42A60D74FECBE76FA55BF44A53D400A mkvtoolnix-64-bit-69.0.0-revision-007-ga64005aa6.7z
For those that want to continue using MKVToolnix in the future, you have basically two (2) choices; 1) Change OS to at least Windows 10 or 2) Compile your own from source using QT5.
Hope this helps answer some questions and shed light on the matter.
